One of the things people love to do along Harajuku’s bustling, narrow, people-packed Takeshita Dori shopping strip is eat crêpes. With a numerous crêperies showing off walls of glossy plastic replicas in glass showcases, and the sweet smell of batter lingering in the air, it’s hard to walk down the street without joining one of the queues filled with high school girls and excited giggling Lolitas.
