When it comes to "chestnut dorayaki," the contents are generally red bean sauce with chestnut grains. However, this time, I found a wrapping of red bean paste made from 100% chestnuts that does not use red beans.

It is "Dorayaki Jun Kuri" from the confectionery store "Adachi Otoemon" from Fukuchiyama, Kyoto. It is a dish that can be called chestnut dorayaki for chestnut lovers.


Adachi Otoemon is a confectionery store that mainly sells chestnut sweets and baked goods. In addition to the main store in Fukuchiyama, we have a total of 10 stores in department stores nationwide such as Tokyo and Nagoya (as of December 2016).

Adachi Otoemon Dorayaki Jun / Chestnut

The dorayaki pure chestnut dough has a moist and fluffy texture. Wasanbon sugar and fermented butter are used to create a refreshingly sweet yet rich taste.


The chestnut bean paste inside is made by making chestnuts into a paste and then chopping and mixing two kinds of chestnuts. It contains plenty of dorayaki to give it thickness and weight.


Chestnut bean paste has a chewy texture when you eat it, and then it melts smoothly and elegantly. The amount is large, so the sweetness is modest. It is a tailoring that allows you to fully enjoy the original soft sweetness of chestnuts. The chopped chestnuts accentuate the texture while creating a richer flavor.

There are plenty of chestnuts, so if you eat one, you will be full. The price is 540 yen (tax included) per piece, which is expensive for dorayaki, but for chestnut lovers, it's like a dream. If you have a store near you, please try it.
