Kamejuu — Local services in Tokyo

If you’re in the area, picking up a handful of these is a nice treat but not anything to go out of the way for. Caution: the long queue of Japanese people is for the pancakes with red bean or sweet potato, which is kept in the front left corner of the store. The queue is not for the many gluten-free red bean and sweet potato biscuit things that cover the counter. Not knowing what to purchase (and thinking that the biscuits were front and center) we picked up a bunch of the biscuits and only four of the pancakes. Ask for dorayaki and you will not go wrong.

The queue is long,, waited for about 40 minutes but it is worthy.

The batter is fluffy and moist, costs about 390yen for one, but the size is much more bigger than the traditional dorayaki. It has two fillings: red and white bean paste.

For myself, I prefer red bean than white bean. White bean is slightly too sweet for me.. I had bought some to bring back to my country as it can last...
