My wife and I couldn't leave Nagoya before we tried this place. The Golden Warabi Mochi was as legendary as it was rumoured. The manager (or owner), gentleman with the glasses, tried his best to provide instruction in how we can get a plate of it as it was sold out. Please make sure to go early and line up. I tried other warabi mochi but this one trumps it all.

The warabi mochi has a melt-in-your-mouth texture and is extremely high in water content. A new store is scheduled to open in August, and I can't wait to be able to buy it in Tokyo.

When I went to Nagoya, I stopped by Tsubameya Dai Nagoya Building Store to buy a souvenir for myself. This is a 100 famous sweets store famous for Kashiwamochi and Dorayaki.

The Yanagase main store is located in Gifu City, and a branch office is located in Nagoya. We are planning to open a new store in Nihonbashi in early August.

I purchased two types: ``Gold Warabi'' and ``Daichi no Dorayaki.''

When you open the bag of ``Golden Warabi'' and take out the contents, you will find plenty of specially roasted soybean flour. When you insert a skewer into it, you will find a warabi mochi buried inside.

Warabi mochi has a melt-in-your-mouth texture with an extremely high water content. Beneath the soft texture is an elegant sweetness that contains pure brown sugar.

It was a really delicious warabi mochi.

Next, when you take a bite of ``Daichi no Dorayaki'', the fluffy dough made from 100% stone-ground whole wheat flour gives off a pleasant aroma, and the deliciousness spreads throughout your mouth.

What's more, the sweet bean paste made with specially cultivated red beans and raw sugar that goes well with the dough is delicious.

I prefer strained bean paste over grained bean paste, but the grained bean paste in this "Daichi no Dorayaki" was delicious and I ate it up in one go.

It was a delicious dorayaki.

We're planning to open a new store in Nihonbashi in August of this year, so it's a blessing to be able to buy it in Tokyo as well.

The packaging and paper bag are also cute and perfect as a souvenir.
Dorayaki is moist, elegantly sweet, high quality, and cost-effective.
