About
Uzna Omom is a charming café nestled on the second floor of a tiny building near Jingumae. The place is famous for its soufflé pancakes that look like clouds, and the café offers a cozy and intimate haven from the chaotic streets downstairs.
Ambiance
The space is a warm, inviting spot with wood touches, soft lighting, and a relaxed ambiance. It is small and intimate, with limited tables, so that it feels like an insider's secret. The soft murmur of conversation and the scent of hot pancakes cook create a cozy, homey atmosphere.
Food & Drinks
I had their famous 3-Layer Soufflé Pancakes, which were thick, incredibly fluffy, and melted in my mouth. They came with butter, syrup, and whipped cream, striking the perfect balance of sweetness. I paired it with a Matcha Latte, which was smooth, creamy, and had a well-balanced earthy flavor.
Price
For the quality and portion size, the prices are reasonable. Expect to pay around ¥1,200–¥1,800 for a pancake set and a drink, making it a worthwhile splurge for such an indulgent treat.
What It Feels Like
Stepping into Uzna Omom is like stumbling upon an oasis hiding in plain sight in Jingumae. The tranquil, off-the-beaten-path ambiance makes it the perfect setting to indulge in a moment of serenity and enjoy some of Tokyo's finest soufflé pancakes.
