If you like dorayaki with a chewy texture to it, this doramochi product from Lawson is perfect for you. This seasonal offering has a filling of Annou sweet potato paste and Annou sweet potato custard cream, making for a really delicious offering that pairs well with the pancakey outer. The whole thing is only 253 calories, which took me a little by surprise -- it is a satiating dessert and that's probably owing to the chewy nature of the pancakes and the generous amount of fillings. Definitely give it a try if you're a sweet potato dessert fan!

Honestly, to me the biggest downside/negative about this is that it's only a limited time thing. As someone who loves both sweet potatoes and custard flavored things, this was right up my alley. The price is reasonable for what you get, it's easy to eat on the go without getting messy, and the taste is excellent. The satisfying chewiness is the cherry on top! I'd happily recommend it to anyone who is a fan of sweet potato flavored goodies at this time of year. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did if you end up giving it a try -- happy eating!
