Panfuwa is an innovative and young format that has brought to Italy a successful trend from Japanese culinary culture: Soufflé Pancakes, also known as Fluffy Pan cakes or Fuwa Pancakes.
In Rome, Panfuwa is located at 102 Via Pompeo Magno (corner of Via Ezio 41, Prati area) and has quickly become a reference point for those who wish to try these Japanese sweets.
🥞 What Panfuwa offers
Panfuwa has established itself for the viral Soufflé Pancakes, aiming to reinterpret and innovate the world of food in Italy, starting from a few basic elements. Their motto is “Light inside, Fluffy outside.” These pancakes are incredibly tall, airy and fluffy, thanks to meticulous preparation that combines whipped egg whites and slow baking. The base is made with high-quality ingredients, including fresh Category A eggs and gluten-free flour.
They can be a relatively light option, with about 190 Kcal per serving, and good protein content.
The base of all Fuwa Pancakes is formulated to be gluten-free and lactose-free (although the company advises against use by celiacs due to risk of contamination from some toppings).
In addition to classic sweet versions (such as maple syrup, pistachio or Nutella) and Japanese versions (such as anko, azuki bean jam), Panfuwa also offers savory versions (e.g., salmon and avocado, raw and squacquerone).
☕ The “Floating Chocolate”
In addition to the famous pancakes, Panfuwa introduces innovative creations in the field of beverages, such as Floating Tea and, in particular, Floating Chocolate. If you love hot chocolate, Floating Chocolate is a unique reinterpretation of the classic:
It is a thick, enveloping hot chocolate. The special feature is that the drink is topped with a large, fluffy (caramelized) meringue and, for those who want it, it is topped with cream.
The visual effect is that of a “floating cloud” (hence the name Floating) that, as it melts into the hot chocolate, adds sweetness and a touch of magic, making the experience a moment of pampering and novelty.
The Rome location is generally open Tuesday through Sunday, with varying hours, from 9:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. (always check specific hours).
