To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Morinaga hot cake mix, special pancake baths are opening at a resort in Kanagawa Prefecture for a limited time.
While the baths aren’t actually filled with pancake mix, each hotto keeki ofuro (ホットケーキお風呂), or “hot cake bath,” does smell like vanilla and maple, reminding bathers of a delicious breakfast. If that doesn’t maybe the brown water will?
