Pound Story Lowell Jindaiji Izumiya

A café I wandered into after being drawn in by a "gluten-free" sign at Jindaiji. In a retro Japanese-style house, I had a crepe made without wheat flour. I ordered the Blueberry Cream — lots of whipped cream with blueberry sauce and whole blueberries on top. Takeout is also possible. The crepe uses Jindaiji's signature buckwheat flour. Rustic flavor; just the batter alone might feel a bit dry, but with lots of whipped cream, the balance works. There are also several types of gluten-free chiffon cake, and although not always available, on this day they were selling tsubo-yaki imo (jar-roasted sweet potato). Incidentally, the building used to be a long-established soba shop. I was happy to feel Jindaiji's history while taking a break with gluten-free sweets.
