Kokuriko — Restaurant in Kamakura

There are a number of Crepe shops in Kamakura, and this one, called Kokuriko is simply the best. They actually have two locations: one on Komachi-dori and the other on Onari-dori.

While the Komachi-dori location probably get much more traffic due to the location, we like the one on the Onari-dori. They are probably a 10 minute walk apart.

The Komachi-dori location tends to make the crepes a bit crispier. The Onari-dori location makes them a bit thicker and softer. Both are delicious, but we prefer the softer version.

It’s worth saving you appetite and getting one of these...

Crepe which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, ordered the one with cream and chocolate sprinkles which is pretty good. A nice improvement would be to add more cream since it feels like there wasn't enough to eat with the crepe.

Heard that there's a similar store nearby which was more crowded but this store is quiet and peaceful. Ordering is done through the ticket machine inside which is not in view when entering the store.

Staffs noticed that I was having trouble with the ordering system and came over to...

We first got a lemon and sugar crepe (¥200), which was really delicious! Not too sour and not too sweet. So we came back a few hours later to get a rum and sugar crepe (¥400), and a gouda cheese and ham crepe (¥600). They were both very yummy! Lots of cheese!

The staff are also very kind and helpful. They noticed us being lost with the Japanese menu and handed us an English menu. You order through the vending machine and give the ticket to them. There's also a nice seating area inside where you can rest and enjoy...
