I went first thing in the morning, and there were quite a few people there, maybe because hotel guests also use it. I was able to enjoy a nice, elegant morning with delicious bread. I think it’s a good place to stop by when you’re a little hungry. It’s a hidden gem.

At dinnertime, you can enjoy Hachiju Hachiya’s specialty takikomi gohan (seasoned rice cooked with ingredients).
This is the “Hotate (scallop) and shishito pepper salt-seasoned takikomi gohan (with nori tsukudani (seaweed simmered in soy sauce))” that was served during a certain period. It is said to be an exquisite dish with a great balance of the savory flavor and sweetness of the scallops, the texture of the shishito peppers, and the fresh aroma of mi sansho (Japanese peppercorns).

・Hachiju-hachiya shun yasai (seasonal vegetables) salad plate
As the name says, the seasonal vegetables were satisfying, but the steamed chicken was not just an extra, it was good enough to be a main. The seasoning was gentle. It also came with whole wheat bread and black sesame bread, and it was so filling that I was not hungry even by dinnertime.

The seasonal vegetable salad was beautifully colorful, and the vegetables themselves were all sweet and full of flavor. The Iwanaka-buta (Iwanaka pork) miso cheese tagine Hot Pot steamed dish had an excellent balance of miso, cheese, pork, and toumyou (pea shoots). For the fish, I ordered sawara (Spanish mackerel). The sawara was rich and fatty, and I could enjoy it with plenty of sauce, which left me very Manzoku.

The shop has both outdoor and indoor seating, and while there are plenty of seats, it is also a popular place and is often crowded. This time, I ordered pancakes, and they were very soft, easy to eat, and delicious. I would like to go again.

Since it was lunchtime, we ordered two kinds of pasta and pancakes for dessert. The pasta had a surprisingly strong punch compared with the impression of the restaurant, and I personally thought it was very good. The garlicky flavor was nice. The pancakes were fluffy and tasty too.

The "Naokichi Original Douhua (Taiwanese tofu pudding)" is popular as a body friendly sweet treat.
It is loaded with toppings, and the chewy taro yuan made with Okinawan imo-kuzu (sweet potato starch) has a soft, smooth texture. There are two types, a warm version and a cold version, so it is nice that you can choose based on how you feel that day.

I ordered a café au lait and French toast. I was Surprising that the café au lait came in a huge bowl-like cup！！！！！The French toast was light and airy, and it was best eaten with the ice cream. It was also nice that orange juice came with the set(^o^)

The couscous comes in a generous portion, and the vegetables are cut into big chunks. Add the seasonings served alongside it, and it tastes just like the real thing. It is easy to see why almost everyone orders the couscous. The café au lait also comes in a generous French-style serving. You can enjoy the atmosphere of a French café.

The "Eggs Benedict B.L.T." uses house made soufflé pancakes.
The thick cut bacon, fresh tomato, and egg go very well with the house made Hollandaise sauce. You can also change the soufflé pancakes to English muffins.

You could call them refined pancakes, or maybe it is just the fluffy feel that comes through from the way they look. They are simple fluffy pancakes topped with fresh cream and a little extra. More like pancakes, or maybe mini cakes, they were sweet, stylish, and delicious.

I love Flippers because they have savory pancakes, and the pancakes are so good. I ordered the Classic Pancakes with fresh avocado and salmon, and shared the Miracle Pancake Strawberry. It was very, very delicious this time too.

・Crazy Cookies & Cream
This rich ice cream is packed with crunchy cookies, making it a fun one for texture. It is on the sweeter side, but the toasty flavor of the cookies adds a nice accent, so it goes down easily to the last bite.

The large Boston cookie is a big cookie with a slightly chewy texture. When you eat it with ice cream and caramel sauce, it feels satisfyingly substantial and has a junk food kind of taste, but that is what makes it so good. It comes with a serious sense of guilt, but the pairing of the cookie and ice cream is definitely a winner.
