“Hassaku Nama Dorayaki”,  produced by Hakuaido

Hakuaido is popular for its Japanese sweet made with Hassaku orange and this Dorayaki, a bean paste pancake, offers an unexpected combination of ingredients. Its refreshing aftertaste is that of western style Japanese sweet, rather than traditional Japanese sweets. If you get tired of ordinary Dorayaki, try this.
