the famous confection of Dorayaki : Ganryu-yaki

Hello.
This is May in Japan.

I introduced "Dorayaki" before.
Various types of Dorayaki are sold in some areas as famous confections.
The one of some areas is Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.




It is famous that Shimonoseki has Ganryujima.
Ganryujima is the historic place where Kojiro Sasaki fought against Musashi Miyamoto.

Today I'd like to introduce a well-known Shimonoseki confection "Ganryu-yaki".


This is Ganryu-yaki.
It is a kind of Dorayaki. 


It has the letters of "巌流焼"(Ganryu-yaki) branded on the top face of pancakes.
The origin of the name is the historic place, Ganryujima where Kojiro Sasaki fought against Musashi Miyamoto.


It is a pancake filled with white bean paste.
The white bean paste is refined sweetness.

It is so delicious and not too sweet.
Try it !
