Hojicha pancakes from Maruyoshi. The fluffy dough baked in a kiln is generously topped with an unparalleled rich hojicha cream. The overwhelming aroma of tea and deep sweetness. A supreme dish unique to specialty shops.

Paired with these pancakes is the recommended hojicha "No. 7" by the staff. As advertised to go well with Western sweets, its sharp and refreshing roasted flavor perfectly enhances the deliciousness of the rich cream. The supreme pairing recommended by the specialty shop is the optimal solution.

Here is a palate cleanser of lemon sorbet. The pleasant acidity beautifully pierces through the rich aftertaste of hojicha. A great supporting role that wakes up the overly sweetened tongue. Satisfied with a perfect dish that has no gaps from start to finish.

Finally, the heavy exterior of the store. A calm appearance that evokes the history of Shiga, making it a comfortable place. Enjoyed delicious tea and pancakes, and indulged in a luxurious time. Hojicha Maruyoshi, a famous store I want to visit again.
