A stylish lunch date at Nagoya Station with galettes and crepes!

"Galette" is a buckwheat crepe that has long been loved as a staple food in Brittany, northwest of France. A specialty store that casually conveys this traditional food culture[RHUBARBE]is actually a popular restaurant for lunch dates. For lunch, they offer a prix fixe course style where you can choose one each of buckwheat galette and wheat flour crepe. For example, for galette, you can choose toppings according to your mood and what you like that day, such as "egg + cheese + tomato & anchovy" or "egg + cheese + ham + potato gratin (+1 yen)". The galette dough is crisp on the outside and moist on the inside, and when you eat it, it is very satisfying, with a subtle buckwheat flavor that is somehow familiar to Japanese people. You break the egg in the middle and mix the yolk, ingredients, and dough together. By the way, Brittany has a lot of rain and the soil is not suitable for growing wheat, but galettes took root as a staple food made from buckwheat, which was still able to be grown. In France, galettes are one of the familiar dishes that can be bought and eaten at specialty stores and food stalls, not just at home.
