Gluten Free Crepe in Harajuku

Harajuku is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tokyo for fashion and anything kawaii (cute). Though I barely survive walking through the busy Takeshita Street, the young local enjoy shopping, while holding crepes on their hands.

In early 2014, yet another crepe shop opened in Harajuku, and finally this time, it was a gluten free one!

Located at a small side street of Takeshita Street, this small shop specializes in crepe made of rice flour. Oh, just to clarify, when you talk about crepes in Japan, it may be (quite) different from authentic French crêpes. We are usually talking about things like this:

Last time I visited, they still didn't have English menu, but they have pretty basic menu. If you are not sure, you can probably go for banana + whip cream + chocolate... The rice crepe seems to take a bit more time than wheat crepe, but it's worth the wait. This soft and slightly chewy crepe is an excellent snack after a light meal. (It's definitely more filling than wheat crepe, so be ready!)
