    A galette restaurant located in Jingumae, Shibuya City. The restaurant's galettes, made with choice buckwheat flour, preserve the traditional flavors of France's Brittany region while adding a flare of originality.

The restaurant also serves dessert crepes made with wheat flour; the quinperoise, apple compote wrapped in a crepe and served with ice cream and the restaurant's signature salted butter caramel sauce on top, is particularly recommended.

    In this time we like to sit outside, so found a table and enjoyed the holiday feeling. The taste of the galette Coquilles St. Jacques was great. Difficult to decided which dessert, but asked if it...
