Kirishima Confectionery Shop Morizo

Morizo, a Japanese and Western confectionery shop in Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, has been in business since 1909. It operates seven stores in the prefecture.

We recommend checking out the "Shiawase Hot Dora Butter" (230 yen). A fluffy dora skin made from wheat flour produced in Kyushu is wrapped around red bean paste made from large Hokkaido Dainagon azuki beans and flavorful Calpis butter.

If you warm it up in the microwave, the melted butter will soak into the dorayaki, making it exceptionally delicious!
