About Dorayaki

Dorayaki is a traditional Japanese confection consisting of two small, fluffy pancakes made from sweet batter and sandwiched with a filling of sweet red bean paste (anko). Originating in Japan, this treat is a popular dessert or snack in Japanese cuisine, enjoyed for its mildly sweet flavor and soft texture. Nutritionally, a typical dorayaki serving provides approximately 220 calories, 5g of protein, 40g of carbohydrates, 5g of fat, and 1g of fiber. While it is not particularly nutrient-dense, dorayaki contains small amounts of calcium (20mg) and iron (1mg), making it a modest source of these minerals. It is primarily carbohydrate-rich due to the pancake batter and red bean paste.
