Red bean cake 今川焼き（いまがわやき）Imagawayaki
今川燒是一種源自日本的和菓子（日式甜點），源自江戸時代中期的安永年間江戸・神田「今川橋」，故而得名．在台灣常稱為「車輪餅」或「紅豆餅」。在日本也稱為「大判焼き」、「回転焼き」等，依據地區而有所不同。
Imagawayaki (今川焼き) is a Japanese dessert often found at festivals, also eaten in Taiwan (where it is called chēlún bǐng 車輪餅 or hóngdòu bǐng 紅豆餅). It is made of batter in a special pan (similar to a waffle iron but without the honeycomb pattern), and filled with sweet azuki bean paste, although it is becoming increasingly popular to use a wider variety of fillings such as vanilla custard, different fruit custards and preserves, curry, different meat and vegetable fillings, potato and mayonnaise.
Imagawayaki began to be sold near the Kanda Imagawabashi bridge during An'ei years (1772 - 1781) in the Edo period. The name of Imagawayaki originates from this time.
