1. A century-old Japanese dorayaki shop in Ginza, Kobikicho Yoshiya, is facing a modern problem: foreign tourists are reserving boxes of their dorayaki but not picking them up or paying for them.
2. This issue causes problems for the store as their traditional dorayaki recipe means they don't keep for long and can't be sold as day-old leftovers. The store also loses money when unclaimed reserved dorayaki are disposed of at the end of the day.
3. The shop is asking for more consideration from its foreign fan base, expressing hope that an appeal for understanding will help resolve the issue rather than implementing a pre-payment system.
