Outside of the dishes that Japan is popular for, I want to try the lesser known street foods such as dorayaki.Dorayaki is a traditioanl japanese conffection that consist of two fluffy pancakes-like patties filled with a sweetred bean paste called anko. It is a popular treat that is beloved by all ages and is often asociated with Doraemon which is a popular manga character. Another dish to check out is Okonomiyaki, which has similiarities to dorayaki.It is a savory pancake made from a batter of flour, eggs, and shredded cabage.
