Mille crepe has a variety of arrangement menus
Chef Sekine, the inventor of Mille crepes, worked at the cafe “RUELLE DE DERRIER” in Tokyo. Mille crepes were initially unpopular.
Mille crepes became famous all over the country when DOUTOR, a major coffee chain, offered a marketing permit. Mille crepes is now one of DOUTOR’s flagship products.
Chef Sekine has since established a system to deliver Mille crepes as frozen foods nationwide and launched his own brand “casaneo”.
Mille crepes are simple cakes, so there are many types of cakes that are arranged, such as chocolate and matcha flavored cakes, and fruits sandwiched between them.

Japanese writer’s comment for Mille crepe
Actually, when I was a student, I had a part-time job at DOUTOR. If we gain experience, we will be entrusted with cutting Mille crepes. Anyway, it is soft and the layer is likely to collapse, so be careful. Therefore, we will do it when the shop is vacant as much as possible.
By the way, the Mille crepes sold at convenience stores are also very complete! It seems that Seven-Eleven has sold a standard product. This is also recommended as it is an orthodox type close to DOUTOR.
