I visited the "Original Sennari Monaka Sugamo Store" located in Toshima Ward, Tokyo. The place is about a 3-minute walk from JR Sugamo Station. This traditional Japanese confectionery shop was established in 1937 and currently has stores in Otsuka and Sugamo. Although the most famous item is the "Sennari Goshiki Monaka," this time I bought a dorayaki that I had never tried before. There were three types of dorayaki available: "Ogura," "Koshi," and "Shiro," and I chose the "Ogura" flavor. As shown in the photo, the dorayaki was warm because the shop bakes the skin on-site. It had a strong bean flavor with a sweet taste, which would go well with tea or coffee. The skin was fluffy and delicious. Next time, I plan to try the "Japanese-style pancake" made only with the skin of dorayaki. Thank you for the meal.

I was watching Yuki-kun's Honest Walk and became interested, so I had the opportunity to stop by. I had the red bean butter dorayaki inside the store. I had never eaten red bean butter bread before, but now I know the deliciousness of red bean butter... haha, a double punch of carbohydrates and fats... haha. What was shocking was that it was delicious even when sprinkled with salt and pepper! There was a sign, so I thought, why not give it a try... and cautiously sprinkled a little salt first. ?! Delicious... In the end, I had one-third as it was, one-third with salt, and one-third with salt & pepper. It was so delicious. I also bought the Chitose Monaka to take home. I got two plum and one red bean. Both were delicious!

#Original Thousand Cheng Monaka Sugamo Store Open 10:00-19:00 Nearest Station Sugamo Closed No regular holidays About 2 minutes from Sugamo Station #Matsuko's Unknown World introduced an An Butter Sand, so I bought it when I was nearby! It's a dorayaki-style An Butter Sand made with Calpis butter. It's not too sweet, with a hint of saltiness, making it easy to eat. The Japanese-style pancake sandwich with butter and sweet bean paste is not too thick, so it's very easy to eat! It's also delicious when sprinkled with salt and pepper. When you eat it at the store, they serve it freshly baked, so I highly recommend eating it at the store! #An Butter Sand #An Butter Sand #Featured on Matsuko's Unknown World #Sugamo Gourmet #Sugamo Wagashi #Tokyo Gourmet #Tokyo Wagashi #Wagashi Shop #Wagashi Cafe

The freshly baked dorayaki with butter already promises deliciousness, but it exceeded expectations. The generous amount of butter spread on top allows you to enjoy the harmony of anko and butter with every bite. Sprinkling a bit of salt enhances the taste of the butter. Of course, the dorayaki itself is fluffy and moist, very delicious. This dorayaki is highly recommended for butter lovers.

❥Visit date: Always on weekends❥Items purchased: Dorayaki skin only, An butter dorayaki, Red bean paste dorayaki The staff at the shop are always so kind, they always recommend having a drink and create a cozy, homely atmosphere. I often find myself buying the dorayaki skin only (pancake) and end up enjoying a cup of tea on the spot, then indulging in the treats. I have become addicted to the dorayaki skin only and even if I come just for that, I always end up buying regular dorayaki as well. The skin is delicious, so the dorayaki itself is guaranteed to be tasty, with the filling being equally delicious. The An butter dorayaki is irresistible with its perfect combination of sweet and salty flavors, along with the creamy taste of butter. I don't even think about the calories, I just enjoy it! The dorayaki skin only is so light that I unconsciously end up finishing it in no time. It's a popular item, so if I see it, I buy it right away! I like to enjoy it as it is, without adding anything.

I came to Sugamo to eat and ended up stopping by this shop where you can eat freshly baked dorayaki inside. My recommendation is the anko butter flavor, which uses Calpis butter. Sprinkling salt before eating enhances the sweetness and makes it really delicious.

I only bought the An Butter Dorayaki, so I can only comment on this particular item. It was filled with plenty of sweet red bean paste and butter, and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and the shop was easy to buy from. It costs 350 yen. It's strange how people line up from early morning for the Dorayaki at Kameju in Asakusa (which costs 390 yen!) when this An Butter Dorayaki here is much tastier.

Original Senso Monaka Sugamo Store♡Tokyo❤︎Sugamo♡my pick! - An Butter♡Today, after visiting a grave in Tokyo, I went to a place that may not be frequented by people of the same generation, known as the "Harajuku for grannies," Sugamo. This place is a treasure trove of delicious food. I love wandering around a city that I don't usually visit alone. And come to think of it, if the grandmas who have lived many more years than us love the shops here, then the food must be delicious, right? I totally get it now. I stumbled upon a unique Japanese confectionery shop with a lot of character. Attracted by the charming sign and retro atmosphere of the shop, just like in the world that Ma tsuko-san discovered, the famous item seems to be the adorable Original Senso Monaka. I ordered the freshly baked "An Butter Dorayaki." The dorayaki pancake is topped with homemade sweet red bean paste, and then generously topped with a slice of butter. The amount of butter is luxurious. The combination of the warm dorayaki pancake, sweet red bean paste, and the cool, refreshing saltiness of the butter is sinful. Just thinking about it makes my foodie senses tingle. Delicious... The warm and cold combination is just sinful... The staff in their traditional Japanese aprons provide warm and courteous service, making me feel like I've traveled back in time to the Showa era. I also bought some souvenirs for my family. If I had this place in my neighborhood, I would visit multiple times a day... Store Name: Original Senso Monaka Sugamo Store Reservations: Not available Access: 148m from Sugamo Station.

At Azabu, they are famous for their dorayaki and monaka, but I personally love their Japanese-style pancakes. They sell just the dorayaki skin, so you can take it home and eat it the way you like. You can spread jam on it, or mayonnaise, or bake it until crispy, or of course, eat it as it is. Sometimes they have sales on leftover products from the previous day in the morning. It's a grateful shop.

Visited the shop to try the "An Butter Salt Dorayaki (330 yen including tax)" introduced on "Matsuko no Shiranai Sekai". Arrived around 4 pm on a weekday and was told that they had finished baking them in-store, so I got it to go. The staff was kind and even gave me some dorayaki skin as a service. Following the instructions on the packaging for the "delicious way to enjoy", I heated it in the microwave for 20 seconds. The aroma of the dorayaki and the scent of Calpis butter were irresistible. After a while, the melted butter seeped into the red bean paste and even the skin. The world that expanded from the aroma to the sweetness to the saltiness brought a smile to my face. [Date and time of visit] Thursday (sunny) / 4:40 pm [Presence of a line] None

Recommended as a must-try gourmet dish on the radio, the Japanese-style pancakes in my town of Sugamo are both reasonable in price and generous in portion. The pleasant aroma of the dorayaki skin spreads both inside and outside the shop. I also couldn't resist getting some anko butter dorayaki as a side purchase. When you take them home and open them up, the sweet fragrance fills the air once again. The subtle sweetness is gentle and comforting. With so many options available, you can try different ways to enjoy them. The Japanese-style pancakes, 6 pieces for 220 yen, are a great deal. The Calpis butter used in the anko butter dorayaki is worth trying at least once. It's a generous amount of butter, but not overwhelming, with an elegant taste.

The dorayaki had a generous amount of fermented butter. The fluffy pancake with sweet red bean paste and rich buttery saltiness was a perfect match. It may feel a bit calorie-heavy, but if you love butter and are curious, definitely give it a try. Thank you for the meal. It was delicious.

I wanted to eat the butter dorayaki in the shop, but there were a few customers already inside, so I gave up. They said it was possible to take it home if within an hour, so I took it home and warmed it up. It was full of butter, sprinkled with a little rock salt, and the perfect salty taste was irresistible.

- I purchased the following items for takeaway: "Japanese-style Pancake" (220 yen), "Dorayaki Ogura" (190 yen), and "An Butter Dorayaki" (330 yen). - The total came to 740 yen. [Recommended Points] - The "An Butter Dorayaki" is absolutely delicious. - The "Japanese-style Pancake" for 220 yen is a product that can be enjoyed multiple times at home. - Warm and friendly customer service. - Located just a 1-2 minute walk from JR Yamanote Line Sugamo Station or Toei Mita Line Sugamo Station, the "Sennari Monaka Honpo Sugamo Store" stands in the shopping street in front of the station. - Established in 1937, this traditional Japanese confectionery store has been in business for over 80 years. - What caught my eye this time was the "Japanese-style Pancake" displayed at the storefront. It contains several layers of dorayaki skin for 220 yen. The naming as "Japanese-style Pancake" immediately drew me in. - Upon entering the store, there were also many classic dorayaki available. The small and cute "Sennari Goshiki Monaka" also caught my attention. - The items I purchased were as follows: * Dorayaki Ogura (190 yen) - This is the essence of "dorayaki" flavor. The moist and chewy texture of the skin creates a consistent taste. - Try eating it while remembering Doraemon. The satisfaction level of "this is dorayaki" is outstanding. (laughs) * Japanese-style Pancake (220 yen) - It contains 6 layers of dorayaki skin. The lovely touch of honey can be felt. - Whether eaten as is, slightly toasted, or with butter, the deliciousness remains unchanged. - The product description includes the following as suggestions for variations: "As is / 5-8 seconds in the microwave / 30 seconds to 1 minute in the oven toaster / with butter, honey, jam / sandwiched with cheese, ham, bacon or salad / with whipped cream or ice cream..." - All of these options evoke a delicious image. In particular, although I didn't try it this time, I would like to try "sandwiched with cheese, ham, bacon or salad" next time. * An Butter Dorayaki (330 yen) - This is so delicious! I would definitely want to bring this as a souvenir. - They add butter inside after ordering. It seems essential to eat it on the same day. - We chilled it in the refrigerator at home to prevent the butter from melting (they provided ice packs to keep it from melting during takeaway), then grilled both sides until slightly crispy just before eating. - The crispy texture on the surface, the sweetness of the skin, and the perfect balance of the bean paste and butter's salty taste make it superb. Even though I'm not particularly good with sweet foods, I thought, "I want to buy this again...". - Such delicious items go well with beer, shochu, whiskey, coffee, tea, cola, anything. (laughs) - By the way, it was delicious even when the solid butter inside didn't melt. I actually found it more delicious to eat it solid, as the combination of the external heat and the coolness inside was delightful. I would like to try melting it next time. - As we were about to leave after paying, the staff kindly gave a small Japanese-style pancake to a child. - From start to finish, the calm and kind customer service, along with such service, left me nothing but gratitude. - Since the child is 1.5 years old, we haven't actively given him adult food, but we decided to try giving him a traditional confectionery from the long-established "Sennari Monaka" store. We felt grateful for this opportunity. - I immediately gave it to the child, and he ate it eagerly. He had just finished a delicious meal and should have been full, but he devoured it. - Conversely, this was a good opportunity, and we are grateful for becoming accustomed to gradually choosing adult sweets and giving them to him little by little. - There is also a small eat-in space available, so dining in the store is also possible. Many people were enjoying the An Butter Dorayaki inside the store. - The accessibility from Sugamo Station is good, and it is a Japanese confectionery store that I would like to visit frequently. I would also like to use it when I need to buy souvenirs. Thank you for the meal. #Japanese sweets #Dorayaki #An Butter Dorayaki #Japanese-style Pancake #Japanese cuisine #Sennari Monaka #Sugamo #Sweets # ===========

I was looking for gourmet information around Sugamo Station and came across this shop, so I decided to visit. I bought the An Butter Dorayaki (330 yen) and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was! Made with 100% Calpis butter, the balance between the red bean paste and butter was perfect. The dorayaki dough was also soft and chewy, making it my favorite An Butter Dorayaki I've ever had. The customer service at the shop was also great, and I definitely want to buy it again when I'm in the area. I'm also curious about their eat-in exclusive menu.

I ate the "An Butter Dorayaki" at the original Senso Monaka in Sugamo. Eating in allows you to enjoy freshly baked dorayaki. The freshly baked skin is amazing. The elegant Calpis butter pairs well with it. Salt and pepper are available at the counter. Drizzle it over the dorayaki for a nice flavor change. It was the most delicious dorayaki I've ever had in my life. Eating in where you can enjoy it freshly baked is especially wonderful. Kittens Together Plan https://konekotoissho.blog.jp/

Visited around 5 pm on Monday. Many items, such as small red bean pancakes, were sold out. Purchased the following item that caught my eye: - Crispy rice cake sandwich: ¥210 including tax. You can sandwich the red bean paste yourself in the rice cake. It's delicious with a crispy texture! - Mochi rice cake with bean paste (served as a sample): They included this as a complimentary service. The chewy rice cake with a good texture bean paste was delicious!

Sugamo - The original Senari Monaka's dorayaki. I come to Sugamo just for their dorayaki. I first discovered this dorayaki when the Michelin-starred Japanese soba noodle restaurant Tsuta was in Sugamo. You can enjoy freshly baked dorayaki right outside the store. The texture of the skin is delicious, with a perfect balance between the not-too-sweet red bean paste and slightly sweet skin that enhances the flavor of the red bean. I recommend the an-butter flavor, with generous slices of Calpis butter. The recommended "rock salt and pepper" is now a must-try. The hint of saltiness in the sweetness has become addictive. For takeout, I recommend the pack of 6 skin-only dorayaki. Toast it in a toaster for about a minute for a crispy skin. I personally enjoy the red bean paste on its own. It's great as a dorayaki, but spreading it on toast in the morning is also amazing.

Visited the store in search of traditional Japanese sweets. The specialty seemed to be the red bean butter dorayaki, so I bought two. They were priced at 330 yen each, which was reasonable. I heated them up at home. The butter was Calpis butter, and the size was luxurious. The saltiness of the butter paired perfectly with the sweetness of the red bean paste, creating a delightful taste. I'm glad I bought one for myself. I also purchased some salted daifuku and cream-filled cakes. The salted daifuku was also delicious. The cream-filled cakes were small but had a great flavor!
