You've probably heard of souffle pancakes. Trending heavily on Japanese social media in recent years, these light, fluff-tastic creations can sometimes tower three or four times the height of a conventional pancake, and are often stacked for even greater effect, decorated with sauces, creams, mousse, syrups, and all kinds of toppings to boot.

In the world of souffle pancakes, Flipper's has built a reputation second to none. We've already introduced the kiseki no pankēki 奇跡のパンケーキ, their self-proclaimed "miraculous" pancakes, before. Not surprisingly for a trendy chain, they offer variations on their pancakes from season to season. And this fall, they're having a "Fall Harvest Festival" featuring a cornucopia of autumn fruits and ingredients, beginning with grapes such as Japanese Shine Muscat and Delaware grapes.
