The Launch of Aged Dorayaki at R Baker
In a delightful twist to traditional confections, R Baker, a bakery café chain operated by Eat & Think Group, is set to introduce its unique “Aged Dorayaki” starting August 1, 2025. For those who are unfamiliar, R Baker is renowned for its commitment to delicious and healthy breads made from carefully selected ingredients, including domestically sourced rice flour. This innovative dessert promises a floaty and crunchy experience that’s unlike anything else, even lighter than donuts!
What is Aged Dorayaki?
Aged Dorayaki is essentially a neo Japanese confection that takes the essence of traditional dorayaki and reinvents it with a unique twist. The new sweet treat was developed based on the success of the specialty store, “Tokyo Aged Dorayaki,” which opened in November 2024 in Setagaya, Tokyo. Here, approximately 1,000 pieces sell out daily, thanks to a variety of flavors and the quality of ingredients used.
At R Baker’s 45 nationwide locations, customers can now enjoy five different flavors of Aged Dorayaki:
1.
Premium Anko - Retailing at 330 yen (tax included), this flavor boasts a moist and gooey texture, making it a crowd favorite.

5.
