Exploring the world of Japanese Crepes while drumming interest for Part. 2 of our Everyday Harumi Book Contest opened my eyes to a scene that has now spread its wings all over the world.
I discovered Unicorn Crepes in Seattle via CakeSpy's review A Cake Gumshoe's Thoughts on Unicorn Crepes (September 09). Their personal favorite was the Anko Custard Whip Crepe…
Opinions about the place seem all over the place from amazing to average.
Near Melbourne central train station, Agnes from Off the Spork Spotted Ichipan Crepes back in June 2008.
They mention in the Savory options, Tuna, Ham and Curried Chicken.
Crepes are served in a paper cone with Ichipan logo as shown above in picture from Off the Spork's piece.
I am not sure the place is still opened as their website could not be found when I tried.
One thing that all these Japanese Crepes restaurants have in common wherever they are located is that they use plastic replicas of their offerings (as below, via mcity) to help customers choose.
It would have looked completely out of place on my weekly meal at the Creperie around the block in Brittany in my youth.
