Taiyaki is one of the most popular Japanese sweets.
Classic Taiyaki is filled with sweet red bean paste, but you can find other flavours like custard cream or chocolate for example.

This one filled with black beans is quite unusual.
Do you want to know more about it?

Taiyaki is a hot sweet shaped like sea bream, a lucky animal in Japan.
The dough is simply made of flour, water and sugar, cooked on hot fish shaped plates and then filled with red bean paste for example.

This small shop from Ôimachi called Taiyoshi has some taiyaki filled with “kuromame” Japanese black beans. 
I couldn’t miss to try some!

The taiyaki is served very hot, and it was filled with a mix of red bean paste with entire black beans inside.

Japanese black beans taste like chestnut and the balance with the sweet red bean paste was perfect.

This small shop has other flavours like red bean paste, custard, chocolate cream, cherry blossom flavored paste with yomogi herb mochi for the spring.
There’s also a strange taiyaki dish I want to try next time. 
It’s filled with potato and mayonnaise. 
Sounds really stuffing and intriguing.

If you are around Ôimachi, don’t the small shop Taiyoshi !
