Harajuku is home to quite a few crêpe shops, but none have mastered this simple dessert quite like Comcrepe. Known as Tokyo’s first crêpe shop to specialise in brûlée crêpes, Crêpier Kei Hasegawa has reopened with a brand new shop just off Harajuku’s Takeshita Dori.
Go for the classic Crêpe Brûlée (¥700) made with a special vanilla custard caramelised with a sugary, crunchy crème brûlée topping. For something a little more extravagant, opt for the Hagakure Matcha Kicho (¥1,000), a vibrant green matcha crêpe filled with fresh whipped cream, strawberries and chocolate.
The shop also has a freezer section where you can takeaway frozen crêpes to enjoy at home. If you’re looking for a sweet gift, order the Harajuku Glass Sweets Gift Set (¥5,600) featuring little jars holding different crêpe fillings or the omiyage gift bag (¥1,600) filled with custard-flavoured popcorn and candy.
Not in Tokyo? Don’t worry – you can also order crêpes from Comcrepe’s online store which delivers nationwide in Japan as well as Singapore and Taiwan. Aside from single crêpes, the online shop offers gift sets with a curated selection of crêpes from ¥3,800.
