The Grand Hyatt Tokyo in Roppongi, Tokyo, has been serving Italian-style pancakes, the "Fiorentina Pancakes" (2,450 yen), at its Italian cafe, "Fiorentina," since August.

To enhance the fluffiness of the pancakes, the batter is placed in a frying pan and baked in a pizza oven. The heat from the pizza oven is evenly distributed throughout the pancakes, resulting in an even fluffier finish. The batter, which contains Italian ricotta cheese and olive oil as well as vanilla oil and vanilla beans, delivers a rich flavor with a vanilla aroma and richness.

In addition to the three classic syrups (berry, honey, and maple), three other cream flavors are also available: chocolate, pistachio, and mascarpone. Topped with seasonal fruit, these fluffy pancakes come in a variety of flavors. They're perfect for breakfast, afternoon tea, or as an after-dinner dessert.
