If you’re interested in Japanese sweets that deliver both size and satisfaction, Maikai Mart’s “Oishii Dorayaki” and “Oishii Chocolate Dorayaki” are worth checking out. At first glance, the most surprising thing is their size—they feel about two sizes larger than a standard convenience store dorayaki.
Even more impressive, the price difference isn’t that big, making them feel like an incredible deal for the amount of food you get.
The First Thing You Notice: The Size
Compared to ordinary dorayaki, these are noticeably larger.
Visual Features
- Thick pancake layers
- Large overall diameter
- Very filling appearance
The size alone already makes them feel more premium and satisfying than typical supermarket dorayaki.
When you hold one, it immediately feels heavier and more substantial.
Oishii Dorayaki
The standard version focuses on the classic combination of fluffy cake and sweet red bean paste.
Taste and Texture
- Soft and fluffy pancake texture
- Generous amount of anko filling
- Mild and comforting sweetness
Because the size is larger than normal, each bite feels more satisfying and substantial.
It has the kind of volume that makes it feel less like a snack and more like a full dessert.
Oishii Chocolate Dorayaki
The chocolate version adds a more modern twist to traditional wagashi.
Flavor Profile
- Rich chocolate sweetness
- Soft cocoa-style pancake flavor
- Dessert-like richness compared to standard dorayaki
Even with the chocolate flavor, it still keeps the soft texture and comforting style that makes dorayaki enjoyable.
It feels like a blend of Japanese wagashi and casual Western-style sweets.
Why They Feel Like Such a Good Deal
One of the biggest appeals is the value.
Even though:
- The size is much bigger
- The filling feels generous
- The overall experience is more substantial
…the price remains relatively affordable.
That balance between quantity and cost makes these feel especially satisfying.
Extremely Filling and Satisfying
Because of the larger size, these dorayaki are genuinely filling.
They work well as:
- A substantial snack
- A quick breakfast-style sweet
- A dessert to share
- A satisfying treat with coffee or tea
Compared to smaller convenience store versions, they leave a much stronger impression.
