Four stores in Okinawa Prefecture! A wide variety of crepes filled with cream. They are sold at a reasonable price at a business where people with disabilities receive job training. There are stores that sell in person and stores with vending machines, so it is very convenient!
Point 1: What is the outline of “Shimaneko Crepe”?
Shimaneko Crepe” is a store where people with disabilities work as a place of employment training, and there are four stores in Okinawa Prefecture.
There are four shops in Okinawa Prefecture where people with disabilities are trained for employment, ranging from simple sticker pasting to more advanced work such as making crepe dough.
Here at Shimaneko Crepe, they have a “fully automatic robot” that bakes crepes, and when the dough is poured into the robot, it bakes round and thin, just like a record. Amazing, isn’t it?
There are stores in Nago, Urasoe, Itoman, and Uruma, of which the Urasoe store sells crepes unattended via vending machines, and there is also a vending machine inside Nago City Hall.
The moist baked crepe crust is filled with rich cream, and the price is a reasonable 160 yen per crepe!
They are also sold at online stores, so it is relatively easy to get one.
Point 2: What kinds of “Shimaneko Crepes” are available?
There are a whopping 16 varieties of Shimaneko Crepes.
There are 16 types in total, ranging from relatively ordinary ones such as custard, strawberry, cream cheese, caramel macchiato, and chocolate, to double flavors such as green tea and red bean paste, chocolate and banana cream, and Okinawan flavors such as seekwasa, red sweet potato, mango, pineapple cream, and salted caramel.
All of them look so delicious that it is tempting to eat more than one, but even though they are not too sweet, the amount of cream is quite large, so even a man would be full after eating two.
The price of 160 yen per piece for such a large volume and delicious taste is highly praised as “the best in terms of cost performance.
At stores that sell in-person, there are sometimes long lines from the time they open.
Point 3: How is the “Shimaneko Crepe” vending machine sold?
The Urasoe store of Shimaneko Crepes has an unattended vending machine, and there is also a vending machine at Nago City Hall.
The Urasoe store is unmanned 24 hours a day and has a vending machine where you put money in and press a button and the crepe comes out.
There are no single crepes sold, but rather a minimum of two crepes, such as red sweet potato/cream cheese, green tea anko/mocha, salted caramel/custard, and so on. (320 yen)
Although the Urasoe store has not one but several vending machines, they are so popular that some are sold out in the evening.
After all, it seems that delicious, inexpensive, and cost-effective products spread by word of mouth.
