01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Served piping hot right from the oven, the soufflé pancakes are the signature draw for many visitors to Jinnan Cafe. Arriving in iron pans, the thick, pillowy cakes melt gently on the palate with an airy softness. Because the batter itself leans lightly sweet, you can tailor each bite by layering on the rich honey butter and smooth syrup served on the side. A roasted hojicha and banana version is also available, making it an easy favorite to share at the end of a meal.
Plates for Every Appetite
The menu extends well beyond sweets, offering plenty of satisfying savory fare throughout the day. Staples include aromatic spiced jerk chicken plates, Raspadura bolognese finished with paper-thin shaved cheese, and the generous Jinnan Burger. Diners looking for plant-focused options can also choose dedicated vegan platters or the "Fish-Style?" burger, which features cutlets crafted from konjac and okara soy pulp.
An Airy Space in Shibuya's Jinnan Quarter
Located along the street in Jinnan 1-chome, the cafe spans a street-level floor, an airy open terrace, and an atmospheric basement level. High ceilings and warm wood accents give the expansive room a relaxed feel, accommodating everything from shopping breaks over tea to unhurried lunches and dinners with friends. Open until 23:00, the cafe also functions smoothly for evening catch-ups over beers, wine, and light bites.
