Ankoya

Located on Kimachidori in Aoba-ku, Sendai, Ankoya offers a distinct take on traditional Japanese sweets. Specializing in desserts, the main attraction is their uniquely shaped square dorayaki. Unlike the typical round version, these dorayaki consistently draw customers in with their innovative designs and the generous servings of anko paste.

Visitors have praised the variety available, noting seasonal flavors such as cream cheese with black sugar hojicha. Standard flavors like walnut and sweet potato are also available, providing plenty of options for those looking to try different tastes. Despite the thinness of the outer layer, patrons appreciate the substantial filling, which they believe justifies the price point.

The shop's popularity means it's not uncommon for items to sell out by morning, underscoring its appeal among locals. While there hasn't been any recent visitor feedback in the last five years, the previous reviews suggest a high demand. Operating hours are from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, making it accessible for a leisurely visit. However, potential customers should be mindful that the lack of updated information may mean changes have occurred since the last review.
