I Love Crepes
Especially Japanese Desssert Crepes
Crepe is a very thin type of pancake. Crepes originated in Brittany, a
region in western France, during the 13th century, and are now consumed
around the world. Crepes are usually one of two varieties: sweet crepes
(crepes sucrées) or savoury galettes (crepes salées). They are often
served with a wide variety of fillings such as jam or hazelnut cocoa
spread. Crepes can also be flambéed, such as in crepes Suzette.
The Japanese crepes developed into something different
from the French crepes due to its various fillings and toppings, and the
style later spread outside of Japan. It is often called
'Harajuku Crepes'. In 1977, Mizuki Ono opened a crepes
shop in Harajuku, and taking inspiration from ice cream monaka, began to
sell crepes with ice cream, whipped cream, and sliced fruit, which
became very popular.
