Taiyaki

Have you ever eaten Taiyaki ?

Taiyaki is a fish-shaped waffle-like cake stuffed with Anko(sweet bean paste) and one of the traditional Japanese sweets.


It literally means "a baked sea bream".

Tai = a sea bream (In Japan, it is thought that a sea bream is supposed to bring happiness)
Yaki = baked


You would be able to understand why Taiyaki has such a name if you see the shape.


Traditionally, Taiyaki stuffed with Anko, but over time, custard, chocolate, or more recently, cheese has been added.

I like Anko or custard.

If you get Taiyaki, you can enjoy twice: the looks and taste !

Please eat freshly baked Taiyaki !
