Dorayaki
Encyclopedia : D : DO : DOR : Dorayaki
Dorayaki (Japanese: どら焼き, どらやき, 銅鑼焼き, ドラ焼き) is a type of Japanese sweet which consists of two small pancake-like patties made from kasutera wrapped around a filling of sweet red bean paste.
It originally only had one layer, and the current shape was invented in 1914 by the Ueno Usagiya.
In Japanese, dora means "gong", and this is probably the origin of the name of the sweet.
A dorayaki is featured in the most famous picture of the rabbit Oolong.

The dorayaki is the favourite snack of cartoon robot Doraemon.
