Salted butter dorayaki - Life in Shimoda for 20-somethings at will (1)

  • Shizuoka
  • Special Features
Nice to meet you! I am a woman in my 20s living in Shimoda.

I used to work for a travel agency in Tokyo, but I have decided to work in Izu/Shimoda for a year!
Shimoda has many attractive tourist attractions, and I would like to provide everyone with local information about Shimoda while I am living there.

Here is the first installment of our newsletter!

A long-established Japanese confectionary store established over 100 years ago! The store boasts of its dorayaki, which are handmade one by one by the popular Shimoda owner "Kin-chan" using Shimoda's ingredients! Kaneido
Kin-eido is a 7-minute walk from Izukyu Shimoda Station, located just to the left after crossing the Minato Bridge.
The store is also a confectionery store with walls colored like gold and marked by a purple flag with "Salted Butter Dorayaki" written on it.

Specialty Salted Butter Dorayaki

The most popular item is the "Salted Butter Dorayaki" made with salt from Shimoda and Sotoura!
The moderately sweet bean paste and Kin-eido's original salted butter are a perfect match.

If you take out several pieces, they will be placed in a paper bag with a "Kin-eido" stamp surrounded by cute flowers symbolizing Shimoda's four seasons.
This stamp is also hand-pressed one by one, so you can feel Kim's love.
And the cuteness of the stamp makes you want to take a picture of it and show it off.

Atmosphere inside the store

Inside the store is the atmosphere of an old-fashioned Japanese sweets shop
In addition to dorayaki, there are many other products you may be interested in!
Inside the glass showcase are many products. There are "Kaikoku Shimoda Dorayaki" with citrus marmalade jam and rare "Sesame and Walnut Dorayaki," so you can't help but want to compare them. In addition to dorayaki, there are also purple sweet potato pie, chestnut pie, buns, madeleines, and many other varieties, so it is fun to chat with Kin-chan while making your selection.
Kin-eido has been preserving the taste of dorayaki for generations.
The owner, Kin-chan, is the third generation, and the small copper plate that has been passed down from generation to generation is so carefully used that it bears round marks. The dora-hada is baked, turned with a spatula, and filled with sweet bean paste by hand. The balance is used to measure the sweet bean paste, and the wooden molds and branding marks in the confectionery workshop have been handed down from generation to generation.
If you are ever in Izu-Shimoda, please be sure to stop by Kin-eido, where you will find a lineup of products filled with Kim's specialties.
How was the Shimoda life of a 20-something girl at her ease? We plan to update this page regularly, so please look forward to it.

We also have a form on the site for you to submit your seasonal information, so please feel free to contact us!
