About
Kawachiya is a well-known Japanese sweets shop located in the center of Shizuoka City, especially famous for its dorayaki. The dorayaki has a thick, fluffy pancake-like dough filled with plenty of sweet red bean paste, making it a beloved specialty of the shop. One of the shop’s charms is that you can watch the skilled craftsmen bake the dorayaki right in front of you.
In addition to dorayaki, other traditional Japanese sweets are also recommended. During the dorayaki selling hours, you can also find “dango-maki” (sweet dumplings wrapped with sticky dough) and “don-namonjya,” (thin-skin wrapped sweet with red bean paste). When dorayaki is not on sale, nostalgic Japanese sweets like “banana castella” and “yokan” (sweet bean jelly) are available.
Highlights
Since Kawachiya is takeout only, it’s recommended to enjoy the Japanese sweets after purchasing them at a nearby park or scenic spot in Shizuoka City. Especially while enjoying the beautiful views of Shizuoka, savoring these sweets creates a special moment. Nearby, you can also visit Sunpu Castle Park, where you can enjoy the dorayaki while reflecting on the history of Shizuoka as you gaze at the castle.
