In a hurry to return to my hometown, I stopped at Tokyo Station for a sweet snack. I found a delicious treat at Daimaru on the 1st floor - a chestnut dorayaki for 216 yen. When I opened the bag, a sweet aroma filled the air. The dorayaki had a fluffy and moist texture, with a strong chestnut flavor. Inside, there was white bean paste mixed with chestnut paste and chunks of candied chestnuts. It was a luxurious treat!

The dorayaki here is very moist and just to my liking! The regular one has a slightly grainy red bean paste filling, while the salted one has a smooth paste. I think I prefer the regular one, although I'm not sure if there's much difference. The salted dorayaki is not too salty as I expected. The texture of the red bean paste with some graininess might be more suitable for dorayaki. Both dorayaki are very moist and the pancake is smooth. I really like it. You can buy them near Tokyo Station and they don't seem to sell out quickly, so I might come back again.

This place is famous for its delicious Dorayaki, but their Castella cake is also amazing! They have stores in Tokyo Station's Daimaru and Seibu in Ikebukuro. It's a perfect treat for yourself or as a gift, guaranteed to make someone happy!! I haven't tried the Dorayaki yet, so I definitely want to try it next time! (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾

On the first floor of Tokyo Daimaru, there were seaweed salt dorayaki and regular dorayaki available on this day. The seaweed salt dorayaki had smooth red bean paste, while the regular dorayaki had chunky red bean paste. I bought the seaweed salt dorayaki for myself. The dorayaki had a mild sweetness and was refreshing to eat.

(2023/05/05: Visit) I found a shop named "Mori Koshiro" at Daimaru Tokyo store, which is supervised by Mori Koshiro, a "Food Meister" award winner who has mastered castella at Bunmeido. I purchased the "Moshio Koshi An" dorayaki here, which features a rare "koshi an" filling. The dorayaki is of a standard size, not too big or too small. The dorayaki cake is very moist with a subtle egg flavor. The filling is quite sweet, but has a smooth texture, likely due to the koshi an. The moshio (seaweed salt) enhances the sweetness of the filling.

Castella, the masterpiece of Ginza Bunmeido, is the culmination of the highest technology adviser, Kohshiro Mori, who has spent many years perfecting it. Among the many skilled craftsmen at Ginza Bunmeido, only a select few are allowed to bake this special product. It is a top-quality product made by the hands of craftsmen, so production is limited to only twice a week. The finished castella bears the maker's seal, and we take pride in delivering this product with its unique taste and craftsmanship. Made with eggs from chickens raised in the rich natural environment of Tochigi Prefecture, "Hotaru no Sato Jitamago" is used. The unique feed formula enhances the umami flavor of the eggs, resulting in a richer taste in the castella. We also use gentle sweetening with Japanese wasanbon sugar and honey to give it a moist texture, and we have carefully baked it with attention to detail and quality ingredients.

First floor of Daimaru Tokyo. A dorayaki shop named after a craftsman from Tokyo Bunmeido. I bought a dorayaki (red bean paste) for a snack. Dorayaki (red bean paste) 237 yen Red bean paste (sugar, red beans, reduced starch syrup), sugar, wheat flour, chicken eggs, honey, sake, mirin, soy sauce, starch syrup, processed starch, leavening agent Slightly larger than the typical dorayaki from Bunmeido, with a fluffy skin. It has a mild sweetness, with a hint of saltiness and a fragrant taste. The red bean paste is average. It was delicious, but I prefer the dorayaki from "Taneya".

The souvenirs from Morikoushirou brand are always highly praised by everyone, so I always make sure to use them. They are also perfect for personal use. For more information about the Morikoushirou brand, please check the official website. In my opinion, among all the castellas I have tried, this is definitely the best. The moist and elegant sweetness that spreads in your mouth as soon as you take a bite is truly a moment of bliss.

I received a souvenir from Tokyo, a "Morisuke" dorayaki. "Morisuke" is a brand by "Tokyo Bunmeido." It bears the name of food master Morisuke from "Ginza Bunmeido." The dough is moist with a hint of egg flavor, similar to castella cake. The sweetness is slightly strong. The red bean paste is not overly packed, but has just the right amount, with a good aroma of azuki beans. The sweetness is strong here too. Even with a moderate amount, it still stands out. It's a delicious dorayaki. Thank you for the meal.

I bought this dorayaki as a snack for my business trip, but ended up getting one for myself too. The texture is fluffy and the sweet red bean paste filling is just right. It's delicious! It pairs perfectly with coffee, balancing the bitterness of the coffee with the sweetness of the dorayaki. I'll definitely buy it again.

When searching for dorayaki, I found some at Daimaru Tokyo Store! I arrived around 11am on a weekday and there were about 10 people in line, but I was served in just a few minutes. There are two types of dorayaki available: fresh ones and ones that last longer. This time, I chose the longer-lasting option with a shelf life of 6 days, compared to 2 days for the fresh type. Both are priced at 216 yen each. I chose the salt flavor this time, which had a hint of saltiness from seaweed salt. When I cut it in half, it was filled with a generous amount of smooth sweet bean paste. The sweetness of the paste was mild, but the sweet flavor of the pancake was quite pronounced. It's a perfect choice for a souvenir. Thank you for the meal!

[Access] Located about a 3-minute walk from Tokyo Station on various lines, this tenant is on the first floor of Daimaru Tokyo. [Operating Hours and Store] I stopped by around 1:30 PM on a weekday. It's a dorayaki shop with face-to-face sales. As expected near Tokyo Station, it's crowded. There's a line. [Dorayaki Red Bean / 216 yen including tax] The sweet dough is rich in egg flavor and has a moist texture. The red bean paste is plentiful and gives a strong impression of sweetness. Mmm, this luxurious dorayaki is delicious. [Staff] Elegant language and polite service. [Final Thoughts] Sweets from Bunmeido, a historic confectionery. This shop sells sweets made by a food master who has been making Bunmeido sweets for a long time. The dorayaki here has a sense of luxury and is delicious compared to the Bunmeido dorayaki available nationwide... Ah, Mori-san's dorayaki. I rarely get to eat it, so I'm satisfied with just that.

I bought dorayaki as a souvenir for my business trip to Tokyo at Morisaki Shiro Tokyo Daimaru store. I remember using this store a few years ago. Also, I learned that Morisaki Shiro's dorayaki is made at the Bunmeido Tokyo Musashimurayama factory. This factory is located diagonally across from the headquarters factory of Tenoya, a company known for Kabukiage. I bought two dorayaki, one with seaweed salt and coarse sweet bean paste for 216 yen each. The dorayaki dough is chewy and moist, and it goes well with the filling inside, making it delicious. The seaweed salt and coarse sweet bean paste is also delicious with its reduced sweetness. It's quite a tasty dorayaki. Thank you for the meal.

I've been curious about this dorayaki because I love dorayaki. They had the standard red bean paste and a seasonal salted koshi-an. The picture next to the price tag showed a huge amount of filling that seemed exaggerated. Oh well. It was my first time, so I chose the red bean paste. The price was 216 yen. This dorayaki is quite excellent. The castella cake is moist. The red bean paste is very sweet. Overall, I enjoyed the taste. Among the dorayaki sold in department stores, I think this one is quite good.

The dorayaki shop inside Daimaru Tokyo is one of the best in Tokyo. I bought dorayaki with red bean paste and sweet bean paste. The dough is fluffy and moist, while the filling is sticky and not too sweet. It has a perfect balance and lives up to its reputation.

The cherry blossom season seems to be coming to an end. I checked the weekly forecast and it looks like cherry blossom viewing might not be possible, so I decided to at least walk through Sakura Street to Daimaru. Oh, cherry blossom flavored dorayaki. It's a rare one with white bean paste and all pink color. The pancake-like skin is thick. Eating one makes you quite full. The regular red bean paste is also filled with plenty of beans. Both are voluminous types. Dorayaki might not just be a snack. It's not bad to feel the change of seasons through Japanese sweets, right?

I passed by on a regular night and bought a regular red bean dorayaki. It was around 6:30 pm and there were about 6 left. The expiration date was until 2/11 for the ones purchased on 2/7. I tried it the next day. When I tried to split it in two with both hands, it was quite sticky. Maybe because it has honey in it? When I took a bite, it was sweet!! Both the skin and the red bean paste were sweet. The skin was soft and moist, with a sweetness similar to castella. The red bean paste was quite mashed, so I felt more of the skin texture than the graininess of the red beans. I couldn't really taste the flavor of the red beans. The aftertaste was slightly salty, and when I checked the ingredients, soy sauce was listed. I think it's delicious in its own way. However, I probably won't buy it again. It was a bit too sweet for me.

The battle of souvenir dorayaki at Tokyo Station is intense. Amidst the excitement, I came across this place. I purchased a large dorayaki displayed there, and when I brought it home, I was pleasantly surprised by how moist and rich it was (it seems to have a hint of honey). The flavor was so rich and delicious that it received high praise. It pairs well with coffee, so I recommend it to those who prefer strong flavors. Thank you for the meal.

Soy sauce ramen @ Chin soba shop September 12, 2021 Dorayaki @ Morikohshiroya As a souvenir for my own home, I bought dorayaki from "Morikohshiroya" in Daimaru and brought it back. When I visited, there were about two other customers. It seems popular. I tried the dorayaki (red bean, chestnut) each. Let's eat. The moist skin goes well with the sweet bean paste. I can see why it's popular. It was delicious.

I had planned to buy dorayaki at Usagiya when I went all the way to Otemachi, but the shop was closed for Obon holidays. However, I still couldn't shake the desire to eat delicious dorayaki, so I stopped by Morisuke Shimoro on the 1st floor of Daimaru at Tokyo Station. It was right behind the Kamakura corner with shops like Beniya and Toshimaya, but the shop had a modest design so I walked past it at first. I bought the traditional red bean paste dorayaki for 216 yen, as well as the limited edition natural seaweed salt paste dorayaki for 216 yen. Morisuke Shimoro is a legendary castella artisan from Bunmeido, and this shop is a brand handled by Tokyo Bunmeido. Therefore, the dorayaki dough here is very delicious. It is moist and fluffy with a faint refreshing scent, thanks to plenty of eggs. The sweetness of the red bean paste is strong, while the seaweed salt paste is less sweet with a slight hint of saltiness. In the end, I felt that the traditional red bean paste dorayaki had a better balance and harmony with the dough.

"Morikoshiro, a castella craftsman, created the brand of Bunmeido, specializing in castella and dorayaki. They offer fresh and longer-lasting types, with the fresh type lasting up to 3 days. The skin is slightly sweet and moist, while the filling is a smooth red bean paste that is light in flavor. The balance between the skin and filling is exquisite."
