history

Everyone in Japan is familiar with Dorayaki. We want everyone to enjoy such dorayaki. The “WAKARON” was born out of the desire for everyone to enjoy such dorayaki.
opened a specialty store in Kitahorie, Osaka, in 2020.
Today, the store is loved by many people not only at the store, but also through various events and mail-order sales.

We wanted to evolve Dorayaki into a sweet that combines both Japanese and Western flavors. We began development with this idea in mind. The crust is made with shiratama (white bean) flour, which gives it a unique, glutinous texture. The mousse was tested over and over again to ensure that it would not be too sweet when combined with the crust.

And so was born, “WAKARON.”

The best taste of the best ingredients

We carefully select and procure ingredients from all over Japan, such as Hokkaido azuki beans and Hokkaido's premium line of cream cheese, to bring out the best in our ingredients. The red bean paste is made by cooking azuki beans with pomace sugar for a refreshing taste. The raw chocolate in the raw chocolate mousse is exquisitely rich to complement the flavor of the mousse. Each ingredient is made so that the best flavor is created when they are combined in the mouth.
