Imagawayaki
Imagawayaki is very similar to a waffle and is filled with sweet azuki bean paste or other sweet and savory fillings. It’s a very Japanese junk food that started near Kanda Imagawabashi bridge during the An’ei years (1773-1782) in the Edo period. That is how this sweet pastry got its name.
The Imagawayaki has many names by areas around Japan. Obanyaki is the most common name used by most area but in Kansai and Kyushu, Kaitenyaki is also an acceptable term in referring to this sweet cake.
I have never tried imagawayaki but I suppose the closest thing I’ve eaten is dorayaki :)
Main manufacturer of Imagawaki sweet cakes: Gozasoro
