The new menu uses a variety of teas and harvest produce which are at their peak right now in the midst of the Autumn season. It also features pancakes made with rice flour, which is famed for creating light and fluffy textured doughs.

Two types of tea-flavoured rice flour pancakes – 1,450 yen

Thanks to the use of rice flour, this plate of pancakes will transport your taste buds to foodie heaven with it’s perfectly cloudlike texture; and with grounded green tea and roasted hojicha tea leaves pounded into the mixture, the taste can’t get much more authentically Japanese than this.
Accompanied by jugs of orange and strawberry sauce – which are available for you to pour at your own pleasure – this dish is bursting with a mixture of flavours that are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
