Speaking of taiyaki also reminds me of this song: http://youtu.be/Dq2xiLxAiIsJosteinhttp://www.invisiblepaperclip.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477962586552803465.post-25879661833040376612012-05-15T14:31:15.096+02:002012-05-15T14:31:15.096+02:00Yeah, there is A CRAP LOAD of Anpanman and Doraemo...Yeah, there is A CRAP LOAD of Anpanman and Doraemon merchandise, eh. This also makes me want to buy the Doraemon comics and reread them!<br /><br />OOoh, I like the little anpan too, although I'm usually not the biggest fan of anko. (I also prefer koshi-an (the smooth anko) to tsubu-an (the lumpy one). Kinda picky when it comes to anko.) I like shiro-an though!

It's amazing to see how popular they are with kids. <br /><br />Also, anpan is tasty! I particularly liked the tiny ones you could get in packs of five at the university convenience store. Some of them were filled with white bean paste, and I kinda liked that more than regular anko. I guess it was called shiro-an?Josteinhttp://www.invisiblepaperclip.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477962586552803465.post-13748990193375121442012-05-14T17:14:47.433+02:002012-05-14T17:14:47.433+02:00Germany is really missing out without Doraemon.

Dorayaki is red bean paste sandwiched between two sweet pancakes instead of filled inside a bun). That's a lot of red bean paste connection.mottekurunodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076974409012870855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477962586552803465.post-13094978191395962162012-05-13T22:52:58.071+02:002012-05-13T22:52:58.071+02:00wow.
