The History Behind Pancakes in Japan

When you are strolling around in Japan and are looking for cafés for a break, you usually can’t avoid stumbling across the fluffy Japanese pancakes. These are not only very popular in Japan but are also becoming increasingly popular around the world. In Japan, they are usually called Fuwafuwa Pancakes (ふわふわパンケーキ) but are also known as Soufflé Pancakes.

When we look back in Japan’s history, the first form of Japanese pancakes has been around since the 16th century. These were called funo-yaki (麩の焼き) and were invented by none other than Sen no Rikyu, the founder of the Japanese tea ceremony. To make this, he mixed flour with water or made variations using sake. The batter was then fried and served with sweet miso paste for tea ceremonies. This sweet snack was trendy in its day but disappeared again at the end of the Edo period.

Due to the influence of western countries, pancakes came back to popularity in 20th-century Japan. The sweet dish has become popular primarily through Hawaiian restaurants, with numerous restaurants in Japan that now offer the world-famous Japanese pancake.
