Nanban Orai Kyushu Anmitsu Dora

Dorayaki, a bean jelly filled pancake with a unique concept that representative of Sakaeya

“Nanban Orai Kyushu Anmitsu Dora” made by Saekaeya in Fukuoka Prefecture, is a dorayaki, a bean-jam filled pancake.  The confectioner is famous for manufacturing “Nanban Orai”. Speaking of Namban Orai, that is a Western-style petit cake made of almond flour, butter, and eggs, but this is a purely Japanese concept of dorayaki.

Retaining the atmosphere of the exotic illustration on the package, “Anmitsu Dorayaki” sounds approaching a Japanese-style.

The crust has a thick pancake-like texture and is large enough to feel quite voluminous.

The name “Anmitsu Dorayaki” comes from Anmitsu, a Japanese sweet agar jelly topped with sweet bean paste. This also contains 7 different ingredients other than agar jelly and bean paste, such as chestnuts and beans.  Moreover it seems to be an original dorayaki used honey.

The crust is soft sponge cake-like texture and it is filled with sweet bean paste, the texture like dried fruit.  As the confectionary name said, it blends both flavors of Japanese and Western., and quite unique flavor.
