Takeout Crepes Right in Front of Kutchan Station
I picked up a Kutchan Station rice flour crepe just steps from JR Kutchan Station—perfect for a quick winter treat❄️
The rice-flour batter had a chewy-yet-crispy bite, and the warm, welcoming vibe made it feel easy to visit with kids🥞
Seasonal Highlights to Check
If you’re planning a winter stop near the station, these are the points I’d absolutely check—starting with the Kutchan Station rice flour crepe itself.
① From growing rice to making crepes
This shop is run by the 5th generation of Kimura Farm, a rice farmer with 130 years of history in Rankoshi Town, and they make rice-flour crepes starting from growing the rice themselves.
② Wheat-free & gluten-free notice (as posted)
There was a posted notice that all items are wheat-free and gluten-free, which made choosing feel straightforward for my family.
③ Two flavors I tried (menu-board prices)
I ate Strawberry Cream (800 yen)🍓 and Caramel Banana Custard (750 yen)🍌, and the cream balance felt enjoyable to the last bite.
④ Takeout options are easy to understand
Hand-held style was listed as +0 yen, and a takeout box was listed as +20 yen per crepe—handy for snowy sidewalks.
⑤ Customization for a “grown-up” twist
Posted options included soy milk (+50 yen), oat milk (+100 yen), and a liqueur add-on (+300 yen), so you can tailor it to your mood🍸
