When the red bean cake is freshly baked, it emits a rich aroma. Although the skin is not crispy, the filling is delicious, providing great value for money at a reasonable price, making it worth a revisit. The cream filling is made fresh, with a strong flavor and a moderate amount.
The shop is located under a roadside awning, with a simple environment that feels welcoming. It is a small stall run by a couple, and the atmosphere is warm.
The boss is friendly and kind, patiently answering customers' questions, and the cooperation during the production process is impressive.
Imagawa-yaki, also known as wheel cake, large drum cake, or red bean cake, is referred to as "guan zai guo" in Taiwanese. It is a type of wagashi, originating from the Edo period during the An'ei era at "Imagawa Bridge" in Kanda, Edo, which is how it got its name.
The outer skin of the wheel cake is made from flour, eggs, and sugar, with a filling in between the skins. Early fillings were usually made of red bean paste or a white filling made from peeled and mashed green beans.
In Japan, the Imagawa-yaki sold on the streets is primarily filled with traditional sweet fillings such as red bean paste, white bean paste, soybean paste (edamame paste), and custard cream. In recent years, many new flavors have emerged, including chocolate, matcha, taro, peanut, sesame, sweet potato, and cheese.

🍴Thank you fooday for giving me more opportunities to explore
I originally bought eight to give to my kids, but I couldn’t help but eat one first, but it was really delicious (• ▽ •;)

As mentioned above, the red bean cake is so fragrant when it is freshly baked, I can still smell it even with a stuffy nose😂
The skin doesn’t taste crispy, but the ingredients are delicious! Generally speaking, the pieces are smaller than other stores, but at 10 yuan a piece is a price you can’t buy outside now. The overall CP value is quite high for me, considering the price, the taste of the red bean cake, and the friendliness. The boss (basically all of them) I will definitely find time to pay a return visit!

The boss is pretty nice, and he basically answers all the questions he asks in a friendly manner. The two of them cooperate very well with each other when making red bean cakes! It’s admirable that they don’t even get knotted!
<About the location🐾>
It is located under the arcade on the roadside. For motorcycles, 3.4 cars can be parked, but for cars...so those who want to go there should choose their transportation method carefully!
