Quite a famous shop for dorayaki in Tokyo. I really like it and have had it quite a few times but never blogged it properly here. This time I got the very cute rabbit manju as well, which has smooth red bean paste inside. Dorayaki is better. ^^;;

Kintsuba is baked sweet bean paste with a coating of flour and water. I have never seen it before so I was all tourist-mode and taking pictures of the ojisan making it, but apparently it is just a common traditional sweet.
