Japan is definitely a paradise for sushi lovers, like myself but I'm also a huge pancake lover. Usually pancakes are eaten as a dessert rather than for breakfast and you will find it on many dessert menus in western style restaurants. Japanese –style dessert pancakes are smaller, sweeter and thicker and you don't usually need syrup.
Luckily for me, American style breakfast pancakes have gained popularity in recent years. I prefer sausage and eggs with my pancakes and lots of maple syrup. Yum! Harajuku and Omotesando is one of THE places to go for western-style pancakes. Japan has a close relationship with Hawaii and Australia, so many of the shops are branches of Hawaiian and Australian businesses.

Sunday Jam is also originally from Hawaii and is bit a tucked away in a side street across from the Takeshita Dori shopping arcade.
