Doraemon's favourite food[edit]

Do we really need the line "Dorayaki is Doraemon's favourite food."?--69.62.187.78 (talk) 00:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. We don't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.25.63.57 (talk) 05:35, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes we do, but in a formative and neutral form. 88.105.58.185 (talk) 12:58, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fairly sure that the whole "Dorayaki is Doraemon's favourite food." part is unnecessary also, could do without the "Many local people picture the shape of this hill while eating a mikasa", I think this sounds a bit stupid in a cookbook don't you? 122.57.187.187 (talk) 23:07, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inventor[edit]

It originally only had one layer, and the current shape was invented in 1914 by the Ueno Usagiya.

There is no citation for this fact so it is not clear if "Ueno Usagiya" is a shop called "Usagiya" in Ueno or a person but the grammar would be wrong in both cases. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.54.130.229 (talk) 07:27, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Castella[edit]

The pan cakes used to make dorayaki are not, in fact, castella, nor are they derived from that. The recipes used are vastly different. I have cookbooks in Japanese that show the different recipes, and have been told that same fact by Japanese friends. For reference, I do currently live in Japan, though that's proven not to hold much weight here on Wikipedia, where online references typically are considered more valid than real world experience.

Cheers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.251.239.3 (talk) 02:58, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the Name "Dorayaki"[edit]

Is the origin of the name the legend which the article summarizes (though doesn't cite) or is it the shape? 76.196.108.175 (talk) 21:35, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
