Manshodo Mikasa
A fluffy, large dorayaki made with Hokkaido adzuki beans and Wasanbon sugar. Manshodo's Mikasa is a famous confection with a name characteristic of Nara. In Nara, dorayaki are referred to as "Mikasa." The name is said to originate from Mount Mikasa, a famous peak in Nara that resembles a traditional hat (kasa). Manshodo is an established shop founded in 1890, and its signature feature is the large, thin pancake that evokes the ridgeline of Mount Mikasa. The bean paste, made with Hokkaido adzuki beans and Wasanbon sugar, has an elegant sweetness that pairs perfectly with the fluffy baked dough. One bite allows the gentle sweetness of the paste to spread softly. Despite its large size, it has a gentle flavor that can be eaten in one go. It is a treat you should enjoy along with this unique Nara name.
