What is Taiyaki?
Tayaki is a traditional Japanese street food snack consisting of a fish-shaped waffle filled with sweet or savory fillings and sometimes ice cream. I loved it when I was in Japan; after you taste one, the taste will stay with you forever. The most common filling for tayaki is a sweet red bean paste.
鯛焼き(taiyaki), 鯛 is the Japanese word “tai,” which means a common fish that is associated with good luck in Japan. 焼きis the Japanese word “yaki”, which means grill, heating, or cooking.
