Taiyaki and Dorayaki are among the most beloved traditional Japanese delicacies. Both are meticulously crafted using authentic ingredients, like red bean paste, and time-honored techniques, delighting palates across Japan. Originally considered as street food, taiyaki and dorayaki became popular with tea drinkers thanks to their gentle sweetness.

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.
