Manneken — Restaurant in Tokyo

Freshly baked Belgium waffles in a charming, antiquated corner store in Ginza. If you ever walk pass this unmistakably uniquely European-esque store, and have some loose coins totalling ¥170 jingling in your pocket, please stop by and try one 👐🥰!

Although eating and walking is frowned upon in Japan, it is convenient to casually consume your waffles outside the store and around the corner, where you can watch the baker make fresh waffles through the glass windows. Like Breakfast at Tiffany's! 🥐

If you like to try more flavours and purchase a box of ten, your waffles will be packed in a beautiful gift box for ¥1740.

I tried the maple flavoured and it was delightful! I love 🍁 and this does not taste chemical nor artificial. There are seasonal flavours such as Uji Matcha 🍵 and Caramel Milk 🍮🥛 for the month of March! Chocolate appear to be the most popular 🍫.

I took a few photos and the store vendor was kind and did not rush me. It was a cool day and the waffles was warm and crispy when delivered to my hands 🤗👐

Be kind to yourself. Slow down. Try new...

It was a little before dinnertime. I was in Ginza walking around and saw a small line in front of a store. There I saw a waffle shop. Proceeded to join the line after a consultation with my stomach.

Plain: Served warm, still crispy. Very balanced flavor. Yum.

Caramel Apple (Limited Time): Too sweet. Served cold... they were advertising something about the apple used. Anyways disappointed. Ruined my palate after the pleasant flavor of the plain. Apples tasted like apple candy, weirdly sweet.

Overall, one good, one bad apple. Didn't make want to try their other flavors.

Would I go back? Not specifically for it.

Do I recommend this place? If you want a fast waffle go for it. Hopefully you get a fresh hot one (unless you prefer cooled/cold...

While we were in Japan, my gourmet sister took us around to a few delicious places around Ginza. One of the places we went was a small waffle shop (take-out only). The selection was a bit slim, as it was late in the evening.

Japanese people are really good at bringing all kinds of dishes and desserts to perfection, and even to the next level. So I was very excited to try these cute waffles.

They had one special flavor, Cream Chees, so we bought one of that, and another flavor, Raisin Butter as well. They were really, REALLY tasty!!! The exterior was crispy, while the inside was moist, fluffy, and light. Elegantly sweet, every bite was heavenly.

I would love to try more of their flavors the next time I...
