Dorayaki - Red Bean Pancake Sandwich!

I was referred by a local Japanese friend that there's a place in the Ueno district of Tokyo that serves great Dorayaki so I thought I'd check it out on a recent visit to Japan!

Dorayaki is a red bean pancake which has two small pancake-like patties stuffed with sweetened Azuki red bean paste. The current shape of how Dorayaki is made was invented in 1914 in the same area! Talk about going to its origins!

For all those people that love Japanese manga and anime, there's a popular character named Doraemon who loves Dorayaki and falls for any trap involving them every time!

Have you had one before? If not, here's just the place to get one for only 180 YEN (slightly more than $1 USD).
