Going to this cafe on a weekday evening somehow feels luxurious ♪

It was empty when I took this photo but not long after the restaurant filled up!

It's still very popular.

Which one will you choose?

If you get the pancake set you get a 200 yen discount off of a drink♪

The cafe latte is made with fluffy foam on top and is my recommendation♪

Here's the pancake I ordered today ☆

Caramel Banana　895 yen

...is what I always order because it's so delicious!

It's been featured in magazines and on TV!

But this time I chose Clover's representative pancake.

Strawberry　995 yen

It's definitely a pretty sight.

I usually order the Caramel Banana because I like strong toppings like chocolate, caramel, and banana, so I usually don't get the refreshing fruits pancakes, but this one is lovely!

I felt great about my choice from the moment the plate was put in front of me.

At the time of this visit (June 2015), they're using a type of strawberry called Summer Princess that's grown in Nagano ♪

What a cute name!

There's whipped cream on top and between the pancakes.

It's properly spread around for maximum coverage!

The round and thick pancake itself is satisfying ♪

It's light and airy so it's very easy to cut through☆

Time for my first strawberry pancakes in quite some time!

It's a mystery how I'll never get tired of a simple strawberry-topped pancake.

No matter how much or how many times I've eaten them before, I end up wanting to eat it again.

The pancake batter uses rice flour so it's very moist and springy.

The buttery flavor fills your mouth but there's a slight salty tang that keeps it from being overwhelming.

The combination of the pancake and the sweet toppings is a great success.

When you push your fork in from above, strawberries peek out. There's a lot of them hidden in between the cakes♪

Summer Princess' main point is that the cross section is perfectly white.

It's both sweet and slightly acidic, bringing out the best flavors in the pancake.

The owner-chef of this cafe hates sweet foods, though.

But even so, they bring out sweet pancakes with just the perfect amount of sweetness.

No matter how many times I eat it, it's always delicious ☆
