"Gozasoro" is read "gozasoro."
It is a famous Japanese sweet originating in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, and has long been loved locally.
The shop is a kaitenyaki (round griddle cake) store with branches mainly in the Kansai area, including Himeji and Kobe, and it is sometimes sold in train stations, making it very popular as a souvenir.
In other regions these are called "obanyaki," "kaitenyaki," or "imagawayaki," so you may know what they are.
The thin dough is packed with plenty of bean paste. There are only two kinds of bean paste, "red" and "white."
The bean paste is said to carry the conviction of the founding days and unique commitments.
No preservatives or food additives are used in the paste, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.
It feels heavy in your hand, and one is a filling amount.
The dough is chewy and the bean paste is lightly sweet!
It is irresistible for bean paste lovers, and also recommended for people who do not like bean paste.
Craftspeople bake them in front of you, which is fun to watch.
You will want to try them freshly baked.
Even if they have cooled, reheating in a toaster oven makes the outside crisp for a different kind of deliciousness.
They can also be frozen.
According to the website, the name "Gozasoro" comes from the words of thanks "Thank you for your purchase, gozasoro," and at the same time carries the confidence and pride that "here is Gozasoro, this is the kaitenyaki we baked."
Incidentally, "gozasoro" is the respectful, polite form of "gozaru," meaning "there is" or "is."
You can buy just one, at 85 yen each.
What a great value!
Why not try it as a snack or a small gift?
