Patch Pick of the Week: Try Dorayaki, a Japanese Delicacy

Burnsville residents have a chance to try the pancake-like pastry.

This week's choice: Dorayaki — a sweet sometimes eat during .

What is it? Two round pats of castella, a Japanese sponge cake, with red bean paste inside.

How does it taste? If you're looking for a dessert that isn't heavy or cloying, dorayaki can't be beat. The pastry itself is light and fluffy, a perfect complement to the modest sweetness of the thin layer of red bean paste inside. Wash it down with a Matcha tea latte
