The Taiyaki Yummy! Taiyaki is a fish shaped cake with sweet red bean inside. From web site; The name of Naniwaya Sohonten comes from the fact that Seijiro Kobe I was from Naniwa (present-day Osaka), and thus named the restaurant Naniwaya after his hometown. The company was founded in 1909. Since then, we have continued to make taiyaki in accordance with traditional methods. In addition to taiyaki, we also serve yakisoba, oshiruko (sweet red bean soup), shaved ice, and anmitsu (sweet bean paste). Since the store is not air-conditioned, the shaved ice in the summer time is very special. Please enjoy azuki beans cooked in one pot for eight hours a day. Taiyakis are crispy, savory, burnt thin crusts wrapped in the flavor of azuki beans with just the right amount of sweetness. We hope you will try our freshly made taiyaki. For those who wish to take taiyaki as a souvenir, warm them in the oven as you would toast them, and they will taste even better.

We visited this location around midday on a weekday. There was no line or crowd. We chose to dine in and were seated in the 2nd floor dining area. Even though this location is known for their taiyaki, the menu many other options. The shell of the taiyaki here differs from many other places. It is more of a crispy wafer crust vs the fluffy pancake style (also very yummy). The taiyaki is generously filled from head to tail. We also order a matcha adzuki shaved ice. Lots of finely shaved ice loaded with adzuki beans and strong matcha syrup. Very delicious.

MAR 2024 Came during lunch time for a taiyaki and the wait time was more than an hour. The good thing is they will take your name and the time to collect so I walked around the Azabudai Hills shopping complex for a bit. You only need to pay after getting the taiyaki. The taiyaki was freshly cooked with a very thin batter, slightly crisp, and it was filled with thick but smooth red bean paste which was not too sweet. Very tasty, also appreciate the ordering system rather than having customers wait in line which would also obstruct the streets.

I’ve never been really into red bean desserts. However, this has become an exception! I originally only came here because it’s one of the shops in the Sailormoon story. But upon taking a bite, I felt the crispy thin skin with a burst of red bean! Delicious! When I am in the neighbourhood, I will definitely purchase more! Update: My Mum was in town and is an avid red bean fan so I went out of my way to purchase their taiyaki for her and she absolutely loves it!

The mecca of taiyaki. This is the shop where taiyaki was supposedly invented back in 1909, and it's been at the same location through generations since. Thin, crisp crust that's filled to the brim with piping hot red bean paste (anko) that's not too sweet, not too salty. The perfect taiyaki. Usually get a box to go, but you can eat it fresh at the 2nd floor cafe. Goes beautifully well with a pot of green tea.
