A very popular place to eat crepes in Namba 🎵 Creperie Altion
“Creperie Altion” is a crepe shop that has recently become very popular in the Namba area. “Creperie Altion” is a shop in Namba, which can be seen as littered with trash compared to the big city, and is marked by a bright yellow wall.
This is a popular restaurant where you can enjoy delicious crepes with an exciting appearance at first glance.
What is Crêperie Alchon?Japan’s first authentic crepe to be enjoyed in a classic Western-style building.
On the back streets of Namba, there is a cute little Western-style building with yellow walls and bricks that exudes a French flavor. Creperie Altion’s impressive building is a Western-style building built in 1952, with a warm wooden interior.The handrails of the stairs and the walls are decorated with motifs of grapes and ribbons, each carved by hand by the craftsmen of the time, each one inspired by France. It is a valuable item that cannot be made anymore.
The first floor of the Western-style building is a kitchen, and when you open the entrance door, the aroma of butter fills the room and makes you feel happy. Go up the small stairs to the 2nd and 3rd floors. In fact, there are hidden seats in the basement. Although it’s a little cramped, the warm interior will make you feel relaxed.
We decided to start Creperie Altion in Namba because of the authentic crepes we had tasted for the first time in France and the crepes we had eaten on street corners in Japan. Ever since I was shocked by the difference, my desire to convey the authentic taste of France has continued to grow, and Crêperie Alchon was born.From the website https://www.anjou.co.jp/shop/crepe/

Crêperie Altion’s commitment
Crêperie Alchon’s specialty is recreating authentic French crepes right here in Namba, Osaka. Authentic French crepes include “crispy yet chewy and delicious” crepes, and are also characterized by “galettes”, which are salty side dishes.
They started this shop with the desire to offer “delicious” crepes and galettes that have a strong flour taste and are highly fragrant.
We are also very particular about our ingredients.
Commitment to Creperie Altion ingredients
- Wheat ingredients carefully sourced from France
- Commitment to unique blend of buckwheat flour for galettes
- Commitment to French butter
- Commitment to salt
One of the characteristics of authentic French crepes is the extraordinary attention to materials. After much trial and error, we aimed to create a crepe dough that is crispy and aromatic when baked, yet is chewy and delicious.We use French ingredients that are difficult to obtain, including French flour. Salt etc. are used.
The secret to the aroma and flavor that makes you feel delicious just by eating the skin, rather than the ingredients, seems to lie in the commitment to the ingredients.
