Dorayaki (どらやき)
Dorayaki (どらやき) is a traditional Japanese confection consisting of two fluffy, pancake-like cakes filled with sweet red bean paste (anko). The cakes are typically made from a mixture of flour, eggs, sugar, and honey, giving them a soft, slightly spongy texture.
The red bean paste is often made from adzuki beans, which are cooked with sugar to create a smooth, sweet filling.
Dorayaki is widely loved in Japan and is often associated with the popular Japanese cartoon character, Doraemon, who is famously depicted enjoying dorayaki. It is commonly eaten as a snack or dessert and can be found in many bakeries and supermarkets throughout Japan.
The name “dorayaki” comes from “dora,” which means “gong” in Japanese, as the shape of the cake is said to resemble a gong. The treat has a long history and is believed to have originated in the Edo period (1603-1868).
Today, dorayaki continues to be a beloved snack in Japan and has gained popularity internationally as well.
