Osaka’s best crepe shop “Alcyon” in Tennoji area

Alcyon, Osaka’s best crepe shop

In this article,I will want to introduce the deliciousness and uniqueness of the crepes in a crepe shop called Alcyon. It’s crepe dough is made from special ingredients that make it tastier and softer, making it mouthwateringly delicious.

There are also multiple Alcyon shops in Nanba and Umeda, but the shop in Tennoji is less crowded than the other shops and might be better for people who dislike crowds and don’t want to wait for the crepes.

Delicatessen crepe “galette” made with buckwheat flour.

Let us first explore the galette. If you hear the word “crepe,”, you might think of the sweet, soft, and buttery dessert crepe. But that’s not the only crepe they serve. Galettes are kind of like crepe lunches, where you can also eat meals with the dough. You can eat ham, cheese, cucumbers, carrots, macaroni, or any meal by just putting what you want to eat on the crepe dough. But it’s not just normal dough. The dough that we usually use for desert crepes is made with butter, milk, sugar, and everything else. For galettes, though, they use a special ingredient. Buckwheat flour. Buckwheat is healthier than the normal ingredients that they use, but it is still delicious. It matches the meal; the dough’s flavor is more salty than sweet. In Alcyon, customers can order galettes for lunch and the normal desert crepe for desert. A delicious combination!

Best tasting! French flour crepes

Next, we will introduce the uniqueness of Alcyon’s desert crepes. The biggest point that makes them unique is that they also concentrate on the dough, which makes them unique from other crepe shops. Other crepe shops usually focus on the cream or the fruits inside the crepe rather than the dough. Most crepe shops don’t really add much taste to the dough, leaving it just plain, tasteless dough. However, Alcyon’s different. It focuses on both the cream and the dough. It makes sure that it is made from special French dough rather than normal dough. It makes it softer and sweeter than plain dough. They also focus on the cream and fruits, having many flavors such as “Teramisu”,  butter with sugar, chocolate ice cream topped, marshmallow topped, and many more. All of these crepes are delicious, and I definitely recommend you go to Alcyon if you are searching for a delicious crepe shop in Osaka. I have just one warning, though. Don’t eat too much, or it’s not good for your body, and will make you fat!
