昨日いただいた横浜元町「香炉庵」のどら焼きとモナカ。
沖縄県産の黒糖が生地に練り込まれ、北海道産の粒あんが詰まった贅沢などらやき「黒糖どらやき」はこのお店の看板商品。そして、横浜港の浮き玉を模した見た目も可憐なモナカ「花元町」は6種の餡（粒あん、青梅あん、あんずあん、黒糖あん、白あん、こしあん）が楽しめる。抹茶との相性がよさそう。
今日は珈琲をお供に黒糖どら焼きをいただいた。う～ん、甘さ控えめの上品な粒あんとしっとり生地がで絶品！幸せいっぱいの味💖ごちそうさまでした。
午前中に超苦手な確定申告を済ませ、ランチとどら焼きで満たされた後、気持ちよくいつもの公園へ。気温7度で風2メートルの相変わらずの寒さだけど、ほんのり暖かい日差しに助けられて、10㎞ランとゲレンデワークアウト15往復〜動けることに感謝！！
Do you have a sweet teeth? If so, how about the traditional Japanese sweets?
Two kinds of confectioneries attracted me very much yesterday. Both are from Yokohama. One is a pancake-like bun stuffed with sweet red bean paste, called ‘DORAYAKI’, which features its two ingredients: brown sugar from Okinawa (the southernmost region in Japan) and Hokkaido (the northernmost)-produced red beans. The other is MONAKA, 6-different-ingredient pastes wrapped by thin wafers made from sticky rice, and these 6 small ones represent floating balls on the Yokohama bay. So cute to look at!
I prepared the tax return documents and sent them to the tax office online in the morning, and enjoyed lunch and a piece of DORAYAKI, and then went out to the near-by park, where I run 10km and did 15-time up-and-down hill workout, which hopefully could burn what I ate . LOL
