On a recent girls' trip to Japan, I asked my friends if we could try to get a reservation to Benizuru - a popular souffle pancake cafe that only sells 120 orders a day. They were up for it so we got in line a little before 7am, the time the restaurant begins to hand out reservations. Unfortunately for us, the line was already around the corner and sold out 40 minutes later. We had missed the cutoff by about 12 people. I'd recommend getting in line by 6am if you want to increase your chances of getting a reservation.
Not to be deterred, my friend found Fruits Parlor Asakusa Yorozu Cafe 444 which also features souffle pancakes and was just a 15 minute walk away. The cafe seats about 12 so be prepared for a wait. We waited about half a hour before being seated, but the fluffy pancakes were definitely worth it. My delicious strawberry and banana souffle pancakes quickly made me forget any earlier disappointment. The cafe itself is very cute and cozy. There was only one server, but he was great. If you have time to spare, definitely recommend this cafe for their souffle pancakes.
