Kissa menu series: ホットケーキ (hotcakes)

Similar to pancakes, hotcakes are fluffier, sweeter and thicker. The kissaten hotcakes are usually the classic showa kind, served with a square of butter (often margarine, sadly) and never enough syrup (not real maple syrup in most cases). It is said that hotcakes were made for the first time in Ueno, during the Taisho period.

If you dare call the hotcakes from kissa Pinocchio “pancakes” (see reblog, picture on left), the master will correct you!
