As the foliage begins to change and cooler breezes signal the onset of fall, Coffeekan is thrilled to introduce its limited-time seasonal delight: the ‘Fluffy Rich Chestnut Hotcake with French Chestnut Cream’. Available starting September 25, this delectable treat promises to evoke the warm flavors of autumn, inviting customers to indulge in a special kind of sweetness.
Crafted by C-United Corporation, headquartered in the Minato district of Tokyo and led by President Yuki Tomonari, this seasonal edition elevates the classic ‘Traditional Hotcake’, which alone sells approximately 1.6 million servings annually, into a decadent experience that celebrates one of autumn's most beloved ingredients—chestnuts.
The ‘Fluffy Rich Chestnut Hotcake’ comes topped with a rich, homemade chestnut cream that has been expertly crafted to pair beautifully with the hotcake. This unique cream is composed of a luscious chestnut paste and a light whipped cream, offering a delightful texture that melts in the mouth. Enhanced with a hint of vanilla, the cream not only brings out the natural sweetness of the chestnuts but is also designed to retain its form atop the warm hotcake. A sprinkle of cocoa powder adds a touch of bitterness that beautifully complements the sweet chestnut, creating a harmonious balance.
To enhance the experience, the hotcake is adorned with candied chestnut, tangy frozen raspberries, and creamy vanilla ice cream, allowing customers to enjoy a dynamic mix of flavors and textures with each bite. The development team at Coffeekan recommends first enjoying the rich flavors of the chestnut cream on its own before indulging in the pairing of cocoa powder with the cream, and finally layering it with the fruity raspberry and ice cream for a refreshing finish.
In addition to the star attraction, the ‘Fluffy Rich Chestnut Hotcake’, Coffeekan is also reintroducing the popular ‘Luxurious Bolognese with Charcoal-Grilled Beef and Shimeji Mushrooms’, which made waves last year for its rich flavors and hearty ingredients. The Bolognese features tender beef brisket grilled over charcoal, combined with fragrant shimeji mushrooms and a sweet yet robust sauce that is sure to satisfy.
Pricing for the ‘Fluffy Rich Chestnut Hotcake’ ranges from 980 to 1,240 yen for a single serving, while the two-piece option is priced between 1,280 and 1,540 yen, depending on location. The Bolognese is available individually from 1,030 to 1,290 yen or as part of a set for 1,530 to 2,050 yen.
These offerings will be available at all Coffeekan and Coffeekan Kura locations from September 25 until November 30, 2025. Please note that prices may vary by location, and not all locations may carry the full menu. Specialty coffee pairings such as ‘Mandheling G-1’ and ‘Charcoal Coffee’ have been suggested to complement the hotcake's flavors perfectly. The deep richness of Mandheling G-1 enhances the sweetness and depth of the chestnut, while the unique characteristics of Charcoal Coffee bring a balance of bitterness and sweetness to the overall experience.

The company has stood at the forefront of Japan’s cafe culture since 1970, with a commitment to using the best ingredients and techniques to foster memorable dining experiences.
