Tasting Report: Enjoying "Shortcake Dorayaki!

This time, we had the "Shortcake Dorayaki," which ranked third on our list. The fluffy dough is perfectly matched with the sweet cream and fruits.

The flavor overturned the concept of dorayaki, and I felt as if I was eating a shortcake. It was easier to eat than it looked, and I finished it in one bite. The balance of not too sweet is exquisite, and I recommend it to both Japanese and Western sweets lovers.

In addition to dorayaki, the shop also offers a full menu of drinks, including matcha green tea and coffee. The matcha, in particular, has an authentic taste and goes especially well with the dorayaki. There is also an ice cream menu, which is good to enjoy as a cold treat during the hot season.
