Guests can enjoy this limited-time offering from April 1 to May 25, 2026.

ZelkovA offers a luxurious dining experience reminiscent of New York styles, overlooking the iconic zelkova-lined avenues of Omotesando.

The pancakes themselves are made with a careful selection of ingredients to achieve a moist, fluffy texture reminiscent of quality sponge cake, ensuring a delightful mouthfeel.

Features of the Pancakes

1. Rich Brûlée: The exterior is caramelized to a crisp, leading to a luxurious, creamy custard that flows from within, creating a delightful texture.
2. Creamy Mascarpone Whip: This topping harmonizes the tanginess of strawberries with a sophisticated richness that elevates the entire dish.
3. Classic Plain: Offering an authentic experience, the plain pancake showcases the richness of egg yolks and the delightful aroma of wheat, presenting a simple yet unforgettable flavor.

Additionally, the dish is beautifully garnished with a vibrant berry sorbet, adding a refreshing coolness that enhances the overall experience. Diners can also enjoy a berry sauce drizzle to complement each bite, ensuring satisfaction from the first to the last.
