    Only neutral feedback

    “We visited Okimasu today and ordered the strawberry, plain, matcha, and mango souffle pancakes. There was a waiting time, but the staff were polite and accommodating which we appreciated. The pancakes had good flavor, especially with the different varieties we tried. However, the souffle texture was not quite what we expected, as it felt more similar to a soft chiffon cake rather than the usual melt-in-your-mouth souffle pancake texture.”

What to Avoid (2)

Food 1

  1. Original three-layer pudding cake Net −1

Tips for a Better Visit

1

Allow time. Budget 15–25 minutes for pancakes because they are prepared fresh after ordering.

2

Visit early. Try a weekday morning for a quieter visit; one Monday at 11 am was not crowded.

The Bottom Line

Okimasu is a compact Japanese dessert café in Majan, worth considering when the main draw is a fresh, lightly sweet treat rather than a full meal. The menu centres on made-to-order soufflé pancakes, three-layer pudding cake and cute Mr. Egg cakes, with matcha, hojicha and coffee drinks alongside them.

The pancakes are the headline order: reviewers describe strawberry, mango, Nutella, original and matcha versions as fluffy, airy and carefully balanced. Strawberry pancakes may come with fresh cream, ice cream and strawberry compote, while matcha ice cream is a recurring favourite. The original three-layer pudding has contrasting textures; flavoured versions such as coconut, coffee and chocolate may suit anyone who finds the plain version too subtle.

Expect a small, intimate room with Japanese music, anime-inspired decorations and a calm atmosphere. Seating can be tight, especially for groups above four, and one review counted roughly 14 chairs. Pancakes take about 15–25 minutes because they are made fresh, so this is not a quick grab-and-go dessert stop.

A weekday morning may be quieter, and paid street parking is available nearby. Matcha sweetness can be adjusted, and oat or almond milk are available for drinks. One reviewer found the café expensive, while another felt the pancake texture resembled chiffon cake, so expectations may vary.
