TRIVIA
Are Taiyaki thought to be good luck or bad luck in Japan?
Taiyaki is a traditional Japanese fish-shaped pastry, resembling tai, or red sea bream, which is considered a symbol of luck and fortune in Japan. This cherished treat dates back to the Meiji Period, evolving from imagawayaki, a similar, but round confection. Typically filled with deliciously sweet fillings such as red bean paste, custard, or chocolate, this popular street food features a crispy exterior and a soft interior.
Dorayaki is a Japanese confection consisting of two fluffy pancakes that typically embrace a sweet red or white bean paste layer. Originating from the Edo period, this confection has evolved into a beloved snack and dessert with its harmonious blend of soft and sweet elements. Nowadays, you can find exciting twists to the original filling with flavors such as matcha, sakura, and various fruits.
