A New Twist on Japanese Crepes: Saryo Kamonno Ko's Latest Additions

As April 2025 approaches, food enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the latest creations from Saryo Kamonno Ko, a crepe specialty shop that beautifully merges traditional Japanese flavors with modern culinary techniques. Located in the heart of Asakusa, this shop is co-founded by Daiki Kawagoe, who has a rich background with prestigious dessert brands like Pierre Hermé and Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse. His vision for Saryo Kamonno Ko is to introduce innovative Japanese crepes that reflect a unique 'wa-modern' aesthetic.

The Crepes That Will Enthrall Your Taste Buds

The upcoming menu showcases two exciting options that will highlight Kakegawa hojicha tea—an award-winning tea recognized at the Agricultural Minister’s Festival. These new items aim to bring out the complex flavors of the hojicha while marrying them with delightful ingredients.

1. Kakegawa Hojicha Crepe with Chocolate Cake and Raspberry

Priced at ¥1,400 (tax included), this crepe features a design inspired by Asakusa's iconic rickshaws. Each bite offers a symphony of textures—from the crunch of chocolate cookies to the light crispiness of Valrhona's dark chocolate puffs and the delicate crunch of toasted almond slices. The rich chocolate cake and raspberry sauce are thoughtfully combined to elevate the hojicha's flavors, balancing the sweetness of chocolate and the tartness of raspberries. The use of premium ingredients such as custard cream and pure whipped cream from Hokkaido ensures a luxurious experience.

2. Kakegawa Hojicha Crepe with Basque Cheesecake and Praline

Also available at ¥1,400 (tax included), this crepe is designed with a crest motif. It combines a rich Basque cheesecake with an indulgent layer of praline, offering a decadent treat. The ingenious structure allows for the caramel-like toastiness of the praline to shine, topped with blond chocolate. The pairing of flavors and textures is perfectly balanced, with the addictive crunch of langue de chat biscuits adding a delightful contrast.

In addition to the new offerings, Saryo Kamonno Ko boasts an impressive lineup of four signature crepes:

• - Crepe with Raspberry and Crème Brûlée Uji Matcha: ¥1,300 (tax included)
• - Crepe with Citrus and Kinako Warabi Mochi: ¥1,400 (tax included)
• - Crepe with Anko and Rich Whipped Cream: ¥1,300 (tax included)

Each of these crepes has been crafted to highlight a range of textures, flavors, and scents, from the caramelized richness of matcha custard paired with the tartness of fresh raspberries to the fragrant hojicha-infused dough.
