History
The snack is believed to have been sold for the first time in 1967 at a Japanese department store in Bangkok, named Thai-Daimaru (タイ大丸), and is said to be a Thai adaptation of the Japanese dorayaki. There is also a Japanese dessert with red bean filling that looking exactly the same as Khanom Tokyo called "Anmaki" (あんまき). Which is a confectionery speciality from Chiryu City, Aichi prefecture, made by rolling red bean paste (anko) in a thinly baked dough.{{cite web|title=ประวัติ 7 อาหารไทยชื่อต่างประเทศ ชื่อนี้มาจากไหน??|url=http://www.mangozero.com/thai-food-foreign-name/|author=Taey Ch|date=2017-09-26|access-date=2017-11-13|language=th|location=Bangkok|publisher=The Zero Publishing|website=Mango Zero}}{{cite news|url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/print/886404/|title=Throw out the cookbook|date=2016-03-04|department=Guru|first=Pornchai|last=Sereemongkonpol|website=Bangkok Post|access-date=2016-07-10|language=en}}
The snack can have either sweet or savory fillings. In the Thai language, khanom means "confectionery", "dessert", "sweet" or "snack". The name Tokyo is taken from the capital of Japan. Although the name of this snack suggests a Japanese origin, in reality it is a Thai invention, or at least inspired by anmaki from Aichi prefecture, albeit with Thai style fillings.
Ingredients
The batter is made from egg, wheat flour, sugar, fresh milk, and baking soda. The fillings are usually sweet, for example, vanilla cream, taro, pandan cream, various fruit jams, shredded coconut, or cocoa powder. Often fillings are somewhat sweet, but always mixed with something salty, such as quail eggs or small sausages.{{cite magazine|page=32|title=ไทยแลนด์โอนลี่ 8 อาหารญี่ปุ่นเหล่านี้มีเฉพาะเมืองไทย!|department=SPECIAL SCOOP|first=สิทธิโชค|last=ศรีโช|magazine=HEALTH & CUISINE ปีที่ 16|volume=188|publication-date=September 2016|language=th}}
