Taiyaki is a Japanese baked cake, shaped like a fish โ cute! Taiyaki literally means โbaked fishโ in Japanese and it replicates the shape of a โTaiโ โ the Japanese red seabream. Traditionally, Taiyaki is filled with a red red bean paste made from sweetened azuki beans. Other sweet fillings can include Nutella, custard or ice cream and you can even get savory versions.
7/29/23 First visit here. I brought my God daughter, Mikayla so she can try for the first time. Iโve had it myself in Washington state.
We both got the Boongโs Taiyaki with Nutella spread, swirl ice cream (vanilla /chocolate), fruity pebbles (a courtesy single oreo cookie provided). It was decadent and so delicious ๐ The size was a good portion.
The cafe is bright and clean. Service is great. I will return again to try other...
ย ย ย Read moreI'm generally surprised by my experience, order the mango green tea and Taiyaki, cluster & oreo flavor. First off, the Taiyaki was just the ideal temperature, the batter reminded me of a waffle smell but the texture is sponge like. The cluster was fill all the way from the head to tail cut off. Finish the entire fish and felt satisfied.
Despite it being a tea bag with added mango flavor it was alright. The tea are actually cut whole tea leaves and the mango flavor syrup or whatever it was smell nice. The flavor smell remains in the back of my throat a lot longer than typical, and there is a mild sweetness to the taste. Not my preference.
Overall, I can see myself getting the taiyaki...
ย ย ย Read moreThis taiyaki cafe is my favorite dessert shop now. They have a lot of different flavors of taiyaki, and the here are much better than the ones I had in Korea. I especially like the pizza taiyaki, which I think tastes better than the actual pizza.....๐ซฃ๐
Besides the taiyaki, the drinks and ice cream are also really good,, and the food is not heavy or oily so it is perfect for dessert. Most of all, the space itself is very clean. It's a cozy space with lots of board games to keep me entertained for hours, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming, so I've become a regular customer. It's definitely a hot spot in the Tumon area. So happy to have this cafe...
