Do you like "Dorayaki"?
In addition to red bean paste, "Dorayaki", which has a wide variety of items ranging from white bean paste, Uguisu bean paste, chestnuts, fresh cream, and custard cream, is a classic snack for the common people.
The origin of the name "Dorayaki" seems to be various because "Benkei Musashibo was grateful for the treatment of injuries, drew the flour that was melted thinly in a heated gong and baked, wrapped the bean paste, and served it." It seems to be powerful because it resembles the shape of "gong".
"Funoyaki", which is said to be the prototype of dorayaki, has appeared in many tea ceremonies as Sen no Rikyu prefers, but this "Funoyaki" seems to be like the present crepe, and it became a specialty of the late Edo period. It is also known as "Kojimachi Sukeno Fukuzono" as "Edo specialty" in late Tokugawa shogunate's Edo customs record "Morisada ware manga".
This "Suso ware" is "baked in a hot pot that melts flour and wraps the bean paste in a square with this dough" ("The present and present of Japanese sweets" published by Tankosha"). It is said that the shape of sandwiching the bean paste with the dough "is said to be the idea of Ueno Rabbitya in 1914.
There are many favorite shops you like, but my favorite now is "Takasei"'s "Black Sugar Dorayaki" (@ 178 yen). The dough made with brown sugar from Okinawa is soft, moist and light. The disadvantage of the bean paste is that the taste of Dainagon red beans is firm and the sweetness is moderate, and the hand grows on the second hand. It does not last long because it does not use preservatives. Previously, it was open at Tsukiji 7-chome, but now the shop is 6-chome. It's a small shop with only your wife and two people. In addition to dorayaki, there are various types of Daifuku, seasonal cherry blossom mochi, Kashiwa mochi, and red rice.
