Discover Unique Japanese Sweets at Dorayama, Tachikawa

At Dorayama, located right in front of Tachikawa Station, sweets enthusiasts can find a delightful array of dorayaki that stands out in both flavor and presentation. This specialty store, run by DETALE & WORKS, has been serving its exquisite pastries since its grand opening in June 2022. Known for its fluffy texture and artful craftsmanship, Dorayama never fails to impress.

Sustainable Irregular Sweets

One of the highlights on offer is the limited-edition Irregular Burnt Anko dorayaki, specially crafted from excess batter that would otherwise go to waste. These slightly softer textures are skillfully mixed with sweet red bean paste and baked to achieve a wonderfully rustic flavor reminiscent of traditional Japanese sweets. Each piece is cut into convenient sizes and is priced affordably, making it a perfect treat for any occasion—whether for a casual snack or a thoughtful gift.

The Irregular Burnt Anko is priced at just 194 yen (including tax) and promises to delight anyone who tries it.

Seasonal Specials: Lemon Dorayaki

In July, Dorayama introduces its Lemon Dorayaki, a refreshing treat for the warm summer months. This specialty features a light, fluffy pancake with a delicate cream cheese spread, complemented by a gentle sweetness from honey-infused white bean paste and zesty lemon peel. The blend of rich, creamy textures with citrusy notes creates an exhilarating experience, perfect for beating the summer heat and satisfying sweet cravings.

The Lemon Dorayaki is available for 420 yen (including tax) and is suitable for any occasion—whether it's a casual snack or a special self-reward.

Exciting Pop-up at Tachikawa Station

Dorayama is currently hosting a special pop-up event at the Lumine Tachikawa concourse from July 10 to August 3, 2025. This limited-time opportunity features not only the popular Kurodora and Shirodora varieties but also the monthly Lemon Dorayaki. With the irresistible fluffiness of the dorayaki and the refreshing scent of lemon, this offering is perfect for summer.

In addition to these highlighted items, customers can also taste the Irregular Burnt Anko and a unique item simply called Kawa Dake (Pancake Skin), which utilizes leftover batter materials. Due to limited quantities, customers are urged to arrive early at the stall to avoid missing out on their favorites!

Remarkable Craftsmanship

Each dorayaki is made with care, ensuring a memorable taste that keeps customers coming back for more.
