Reference from くーちょ日記 “ザ・フレンチトーストファクトリー ヨドバシAkiba@秋葉原|クラッシックトースト“
“The French Toast Factory Yodobashi Akiba Shop (ザ・フレンチトーストファクトリー ヨドバシAkiba店)” is a place where you can enjoy French toast with ‘the happiest feeling’, in the stylish space with pop art drawn on the walls and pillars. The top recommendation is their leading menu “FTF Classic Toast”. The original bread sliced in 4 cm thickness is soaked in appareil (French word meaning a mixture of milk and eggs) for 24 hours and baked fragrantly. First, please try it as it is. The surface is crispy and fragrant, and the inside is melty and smooth. You will be thrilled by the texture that may have not been experienced before. After enjoying the original taste of French toast, you can add some richness with fermented butter as well as some sweetness with maple syrup. In addition, the recommended way is to top smooth honey whipped cream plus squeezed fresh lemon lastly, then you can also enjoy a refreshing taste. Out of the variety of French toast ranging from sweets to gourmet, you can choose the one for yourself depending on the feeling.

Reference from スイーツビレッジ “「フライングスコッツマン」の厚焼きホットケーキがおいしすぎる!“
“Flying Scotsman Akihabara Shop (フライングスコッツマン 秋葉原店)” is a long-established coffee shop originally founded in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture in 1988. In the calming space that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city, you can enjoy their homemade sweets such as parfaits and pound cakes, and fragrant coffee that is carefully distilled with a siphon or French press. What you can’t miss here is the hot cake that is popular on SNS. You can enjoy different flavors, but if you want to go for the original taste of pancakes, try ‘Handmade hotcakes’, their leading menu. After receiving the order, it will be made by pouring the dough into the mold and slowly baking it for a soft and thick finish. Although the taste has evolved, its unique form has not changed since its opening.Enjoy it with plenty of maple syrup poured over the butter put on the top. You should be fascinated by the mouthfeel of soft and gentle, and moist at the same time. Vanilla and fresh cream can also be added for 100 yen, so it’s nice that you can arrange it as you like. The new ‘Strawberry Honwaka Snow Pancake (いちごのほんわかスノーホットケーキ)’ is also a gem you want to check.

‘Honey Toast’ is originally a dessert offered at the karaoke shop ‘PASELA’. The impressive size of a loaf of homemade bread and the photogenic looks of gorgeously decorated creams and fruits caught the hearts of women and became a hot topic.

It is a gorgeous gem with various ingredients such as banana, whipped cream, banana ice cream, and chocolate sauce on top of homemade bread – which was soaked with honey and butter before being baked crispy. Inside you will find a dice-shaped honey toast made from the cut part of the bread. Any part you bite, it will feel crispy and fragrant, and honey and butter overflow from inside.
