Nama-Dorayaki

The combination of fresh cream and dorayaki dough will continue to be a staple.

The “Nama-Dorayaki” from “Confectioner Eitaro,” a long-established confectionery shop in Shiogama, Miyagi Prefecture, has become popular nationwide in recent years.

What is “nama-dorayaki” in the first place? It is a type of dorayaki in which the filling is made with fresh cream. These days, you can often find them chilled in the sweets section of convenience stores. Since freshness is important for fresh cream, they are often served in a refrigerated environment, which is probably why they are so popular for their freshness and fresh taste.

The Nama Dorayaki series has many other varieties in addition to the Ogura An (sweet bean paste) introduced here. The dorayaki are made with a variety of flavors such as chocolate, zunda, sesame flavor, rum raisin, strawberry, lemon, chestnut, and coffee by combining them with fresh cream.

The azuki bean cream is light azuki bean color but beautiful. The texture is airy and fluffy, and the delicacy of the fresh cream can be felt. The dorayaki skin is also very soft and thick to match the texture of the fresh cream.

Delicious! I am glad that they are quite large in size, but they are light and airy in the mouth and delicious, and you can eat them in no time at all.” I felt that the “nama dorayaki” genre is a confectionary genre that will surely become a staple in the future.
