Moguraya

Moguraya’s signature sweet, もの字焼, is a good choice for anyone who enjoys both the pancake layers of dorayaki and its chunky red bean filling. Diners describe the layers as fluffy and moist, with a pleasantly restrained sweetness in the filling. One person also noted a hint of honey in the pancakes and found the bean paste not too sweet. The thick layers and filling make this a satisfying snack, or a sweet to consider as a gift.

Another speciality, mitarashi dango, has also earned praise for the sweet-and-savoury sauce and the fragrant, toasted flavour of the rice dumplings. One customer said the warm sauce was poured over the dango as they packed it. It is a good option when you want a sweet centred on dumplings rather than dorayaki. Reviews also mention abekawa mochi, with its kinako soybean-powder flavour, and warabi mochi, which one diner found soft and gently sweet.

The Tengachaya shop is described as a factory outlet, and one customer reported being able to buy freshly made Japanese sweets there. You could pick up もの字焼 or mitarashi dango, then add warabi mochi or abekawa mochi for a selection of treats to enjoy at home.
