About Crepe Shop Choco 877 (Banana)

Hello travelers! This is Asukarando, writer for SaruKuma.

Today I’m introducing a great little spot in Shimoide, Arao City:
Crepe Shop Choco 877 (Banana).

Do you love crepes?
Kids adore them, of course — but even grown-ups can’t walk past a good crepe stand without stopping, right?
Well, I found a crepe shop worth recommending, so I had to check it out (^3^)/

And yes — you may have already noticed!

That’s a Ferris wheel in the background! This crepe shop sits practically right next door to Greenland Amusement Park (^^)

The shop’s name is “Crepe Shop Choco 877 (Banana).”

Wondering why “877”?

In Japanese, the numbers 8-7-7 sound like “ba-na-na” — so Choco 877 = Choco Banana! A clever bit of wordplay.

Let’s dive right in!

Here’s the menu at Crepe Shop Choco 877 (Banana) (^3^)/

Recommended Menu Item at Crepe Shop Choco 877 (Banana)

I’m pretty indecisive, so after going back and forth (and even getting the staff’s advice), here’s what I went with!

Ta-da!

☆ Coffee Oreo Crepe ☆

Usually when I’m with my kids I pick something they’ll enjoy, but this time I told myself: today is for me! So I went with my beloved coffee crepe (^-^)v

Oreo and cream are a match made in heaven ♪

Add the slightly bitter coffee sauce drizzled on top, and it’s pure bliss (>.<)y-~

And the cream at Crepe Shop Choco 877 (Banana) is something special!

It’s low-sugar and low-fat — sweet, but light enough that you don’t feel weighed down (^3^)/

The crepe wrapper is incredibly thin yet still has a soft, fluffy texture — it’s almost magical (>.<)y-~

Crepe Shop Choco 877 (Banana) is a real find — head over and discover your own favorite from their massive menu!

It might just become your go-to stop on the way home from Greenland Amusement Park ♪

Oh, and I never got to try the namesake Choco Banana crepe — guess I’ll have to go back＼(^_^)(^_^)／
