I had received this as a souvenir before and had always wanted to try it again. This was my first visit to the store. I went on a weekday morning. My family loves dorayaki. I thought there would be a long line, but surprisingly there wasn't much of a wait. However, after a few minutes of lining up, a female employee came and said in an annoyed tone, "This isn't the end of the line." I was surprised. Across the street, behind the stairs past the station entrance, was where the actual line was forming. It would be helpful to have employees stand at the back of the line or put up a sign to indicate the end of the line. Despite this, after a 40-minute wait, I finally got to purchase the dorayaki and other sweets I wanted. I bought multiple dorayaki with red bean and white bean paste, as well as some new flavors like Matsukaze and chestnut-filled cakes. The dorayaki was as delicious as I remembered. The thin, fluffy, chewy pancake with a hint of fragrance paired perfectly with the large red bean paste. The red bean paste was on the sweeter side. The white bean paste, chestnut cake, and Matsukaze were new to me, but they all had a sophisticated taste and were delicious. However, the red bean dorayaki was still my favorite. The other employees were efficient and polite, but the experience with one employee was disappointing. Nevertheless, the food was undeniably delicious. Since my family and I love dorayaki, I will definitely visit again.

Around 11 am in the morning, there was a long line, but by the evening, the line had gotten shorter so I decided to go back. When I arrived at the shop around 5 pm, there were enough people inside the shop and about 5 groups waiting on the sidewalk. The waiting time was shorter compared to the morning, and I was able to make a purchase. However, while waiting inside the shop, there was an announcement that the white bean paste was running low. I was worried because I love white bean paste, but luckily I was able to buy some. Late hours are recommended, but it is not guaranteed, so please be aware. In addition to that, they also have delicious monaka filled with bean paste, Matsukaze with black sugar dough, and Kin-Tsuba Castella. The dorayaki has a shelf life of 3 days. The fluffy dough and mildly sweet bean paste are addictive. I will have it for breakfast tomorrow.

While glancing at the samba carnival, I bought souvenirs. It's still common to find old shops that don't accept cards or QR codes. Now, since there are three of us, I was thinking of getting three dorayaki. But I feel like eating more, and four dorayaki would be too much, so how about getting manju instead? I chose white bean paste filling. It was a great choice. I felt the sweetness more with the white bean paste. The dorayaki skin with grill marks surprisingly didn't have much aroma. One piece was just the right amount. The red bean paste was a bit too subtly sweet for my taste.

Hello, this is Gourmet Actor. Tonight, I visited the number one souvenir shop in Asakusa, the extremely popular dorayaki shop called Kameju. This shop is incredibly famous in Asakusa! The line here is always long, and it's a must-visit spot in Asakusa. Today, I purchased dorayaki with white bean paste and red bean paste, as well as monaka with white bean paste and chestnut. You can tell just by holding it that Kameju's dorayaki is something special! The texture is soft and fluffy. This dorayaki is probably the best in Japan! It's incredibly delicious! Anyone who receives this as a souvenir will surely be delighted! When I went for lunch, there was a line of over 20 people waiting. I don't think you can buy without waiting in line, especially since it's the number one souvenir! You must try this dorayaki at least once! It's amazing! The monaka is also incredibly delicious, unlike anything I've had before. Kameju's dorayaki and monaka are perfect souvenirs that you can't go wrong with, so feel free to buy them. Please try this Asakusa specialty at least once!

Kameju Dorayaki, Asakusa Specialty Kameju Monaka Tokyo's top three dorayaki shops, a long-established famous store founded in the late Taisho period. When you visit, you can see how popular this shop is with people of all ages and nationalities lining up, including foreigners. The dorayaki was so fluffy and fragrant compared to what I had eaten before, it would be rude to compare. The sweet bean paste is not too sweet, so it is a perfectly balanced and delicious treat inside and out. It's so delicious that I highly recommend trying it at least once. The monaka also brings a sense of awe and surprise. It would surely be a greatly appreciated souvenir. This is a highly recommended shop that represents Asakusa.

I encountered a dorayaki with a fluffy texture that can be eaten even without a drink for the first time. The red bean paste inside had a delicate sweetness and a refreshing aftertaste. It doesn't last long, but I want to treat my family in Osaka to it, so I will definitely go back when I visit Tokyo again.

『100 Famous Shops Tour in Asakusa』【No.1】 ◇Today, I decided to do a little "sightseeing" while visiting 100 famous shops. Although I have passed by many times, I have never properly explored Asakusa, so I decided to go there. I took the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line from Ueno Station to Asakusa Station, and my first stop was at "Kameju," a traditional Japanese sweets shop. ◇I started with a dorayaki today! The weather was nice, with lingering summer heat. I walked energetically. 【Nearest Station/Location】 ◇I recommend taking the 1st exit at Asakusa Station (Tokyo Metro Ginza Line). As soon as you exit the station, you will be near the Kaminarimon Gate, and the shop is located across the street. 【Purchase Method】 ◇Only takeout is available. You line up at the counter inside the store to place your order. 【Visit Time/Day】 ◇I arrived on a Monday around 11:40 AM. There were over 10 people in line inside the store, but it moved quickly, taking less than 10 minutes. 【Ordered Item】 ◇I ordered the "Azuki Dorayaki (390 yen including tax)." Although it was labeled as such on the display shelf, regular customers seemed to refer to it as "black" and "white" dorayaki, with "black" being azuki and "white" being white bean paste. 【Dorayaki Impressions】 ◇I purchased it for takeout and had it as dessert after dinner at home. The most notable feature is its "fluffy texture similar to pancakes!" Even when sliced, the dorayaki is so fluffy that the knife goes through easily. ◇The red bean paste is made of whole beans, with occasional large pieces, but it is easy to eat without the skin getting stuck. The red bean paste is on the sweeter side, but it complements the fluffy texture of the pancake well, making it delicious and easy to finish. 【Special Notes】 ◇It is quite large, almost the size of a Big Mac! The volume of the pancake is substantial, packed with red bean paste. However, at 390 yen each, it feels a bit pricey for a traditional Japanese sweet. Compared to dorayaki from certain domestic confectionery companies that sell for just over 100 yen at supermarkets, it is almost four times the price. Nonetheless, the encounter with this "fluffy pancake dorayaki" is truly impressive. ◇I believe it would make a great souvenir, so if you ever visit Asakusa, be sure to try it out!

"I went to Asakusa and bought one dorayaki. It was not perfectly round like a mold, but had a handmade feel to it. It was heavy and had a wonderful aroma. The red bean paste was delicious with well-cooked beans. It was the first time I had such tasty red bean paste in a dorayaki. The sponge part was sweet, fluffy, and moist. If you go to Asakusa, you must buy one."

I received a dorayaki from Kameju, a famous dorayaki shop near Asakusa Station and Senso-ji Temple, recommended by a friend. After looking it up, I found out that it is one of the top dorayaki shops in Japan. It was delicious! I would love to try it again if I have the chance!

Located just a 2-minute walk from Asakusa Station on the Tokyo Metro, this shop is right in front of the Kaminarimon Gate. There is no parking available. This shop is a long-established Japanese confectionery store founded at the end of the Taisho era. One of their specialties is the dorayaki, which is famous as one of the "Three Great Dorayaki of Tokyo" along with Usagiya in Ueno and Kusatsuki in Higashijujo. The exterior looks like a traditional souvenir shop in a shopping street. I visited on a weekend and the line was incredibly long, extending from outside to inside the shop. Despite the wait of nearly 30 minutes, I only purchased one dorayaki priced at 390 yen including tax. However, I regret not buying more as it was incredibly delicious! The dorayaki had a pancake-like skin with a refined sweetness in the red bean paste filling. It was large in size and undoubtedly the best dorayaki I've ever tasted! I now understand why the man in front of me in line bought 10 of them. The "Three Great Dorayaki of Tokyo" are truly amazing. I will definitely visit again to try the dorayaki from the other two shops.

White an-dorayaki. Once you eat this, you won't be able to eat any other dorayaki. The taste is irresistible for red bean paste lovers. Since it has a short expiration date, it's best to buy it the day before if you want to give it as a souvenir. It has become an unforgettable taste. Will definitely buy it again. Rather than as a souvenir, I'll buy it for myself. LOL

I finally got to try the dorayaki from Kameju that I've been wanting to eat for a long time. I miraculously got the white bean paste dorayaki, so I bought the white bean paste flavor. The skin is crispy and fluffy. I couldn't really tell the difference between normal red bean paste and white bean paste, but the white bean paste was delicious. Next time, I want to buy the regular dorayaki too.

Let's get excited! Today, I went to Kameju in Asakusa! Asakusa is a well-known tourist spot in Japan, with many famous shops. Kameju is a popular shop in Asakusa, always crowded with long lines. I was drawn to the line and ended up buying dorayaki and monaka. The prices are a bit on the high side, but the portions are generous. The dorayaki has black bean paste and is huge in size. The soft and fluffy dough combines perfectly with the generous amount of red bean paste inside. It's a filling treat. The monaka is also impressive in size, with the red bean paste overflowing. The skin is chewy and the red bean paste is abundant. Both treats are full of volume and could even be considered a meal for some. It was very delicious! Thank you for the meal!

I visited Kameju, one of the Tokyo Dorayaki Sankei, at Asakusa Station, a 2-minute walk away. The location is near the intersection where Asakusa Kaminarimon is located. There is always a line, so it's easy to spot. Among dorayaki, there is a superb dorayaki known as the "Tokyo Three Great Dorayaki". It includes Usagiya in Ueno, Kusugatsu in Higashijujo, and Kameju in Asakusa. Asakusa's specialty sweets are also famous as souvenirs. When a friend tried to buy it the other day, the store was just closing and they couldn't get it, so I bought it as a souvenir when I visited Asakusa. Due to the effects of the typhoon and the strong rain, it was a weekday, so I thought it might not be crowded, but there were about 20 people in line. I purchased a ⭐️ Dorayaki assortment (6 pieces) for 2,200 yen, with 3 red bean and 2 white bean dorayaki. The dough is very fluffy with red bean paste inside. The dough itself is delicious, and it enhances the rich and elegant sweetness of the paste. They are particular about using red beans from Tokachi, Hokkaido, and granulated sugar, resulting in a dorayaki with a straight sweetness and red bean flavor without any off-flavors. Therefore, in consideration of the balance with the skin, the amount of paste is relatively modest compared to the more common dorayaki. The white bean paste is the same for both red bean and dough. The paste is a hand-crushed bean paste. The white bean paste has a slightly less sweet taste. You can purchase them individually as well. 390 yen.

There is a dorayaki shop in Asakusa with a decent line. They also have monaka, castella, and fried mochi. The dorayaki costs 390 yen and is large in size, with a fluffy chiffon cake-like texture. The red bean paste filling is sweet and delicious. The shop is small, so it's best to avoid going in with a large group.

A popular traditional Japanese confectionery shop in Asakusa, known for its long lines every day before opening. One of the "Three Great Dorayaki of Tokyo" includes: Ueno's "Usagiya," Higashijujo's "Kusatsuki," and Asakusa's "Kameju." Located about a 2-3 minute walk from Asakusa Station, in an arcade shopping street. I visited on a holiday just after 10 am and there was already a long line. It took about an hour to purchase. ❤︎ [Dorayaki (Red Bean)] (390 yen) Larger than the typical dorayaki, with a fluffy and light dough. Made with large red beans for a rich sweetness. ❤︎ [Dorayaki (White Bean)] (390 yen) Same dough as the red bean dorayaki, but with white beans for a slightly stronger sweetness. Personally, I prefer the red bean version. ❤︎ [Matsukaze] (280 yen) A confectionery shaped like a pine tree trunk, with a steamed bread-like dough and red bean paste. The dough has a rich sweetness from black sugar. The red bean paste is similar to that in the dorayaki.

The 100th review is for "Kameju"! It was my first visit. I went to buy souvenirs for my family and also wanted to try it for myself. I heard that there is always a long line due to its popularity, so I went early to match the opening time, but there were already people lining up... After about 30 minutes, I entered the store. I bought two types of dorayaki (black bean paste and white bean paste) and Matsukaze this time. I was surprised by the lightness of the dorayaki dough! It had a texture like pancakes with a perfect flavor of bean paste! It's a popular item that lives up to its reputation. Personally, I preferred the black bean paste. Matsukaze had an impressive taste of brown sugar, which was also delicious! Personally, I love brown sugar, so I think I will be hooked on this one haha. I enjoyed the famous Asakusa specialty that always has a long line. Next time, I will try buying the manju. Thank you for the meal!

It is said to be one of the three major dorayaki in Japan, but I was always a fan of rabbit-shaped dorayaki, and since I usually go to Asakusa on weekends, I had to give up due to the incredible line. However, I finally got it. They were having an event at Ginza Mitsukoshi. The white bean paste was sold out, so this time I got the regular dorayaki with black bean paste. It's heavy. It's big. When I tried to split it, only the dough cracked softly. Oh. This is really like a pancake from the moment you hold it. When I ate it, the dough itself was slightly sweet, with a slight bitterness like a lightly cooked pancake. It really tastes like a pancake! It might be good to dip the dough in butter or maple syrup. While thinking that, I also took a bite of the bean paste. Oh! It's so smooth! Somehow, based on the appearance of the surface of the dough, I had the impression that it might be too simple before buying it, but when I tried it, the bean paste was not too sweet and had an elegant taste, with a certain rustic charm, and despite its size, it was so delicious that I wanted another one! This is delicious. I deeply felt that. Next time, I definitely want to try the white bean paste.
