Taiyaki Store

Hi. I think that you are questioning what is Taiyaki... I know I will explain to you.

Taiyaki is food. Yes, you can eat. It is sweet food.

Here is explanation from Wikipedia;
Taiyaki (たい焼き , literally "baked sea bream"?) is a Japanese fish-shaped cake. The most common filling is red bean paste that is made from sweetened azuki beans. Other common fillings may be custard, chocolate, or cheese.

So, now you know what is Taiyaki, right?

Today, I would like to talk about Taiyaki store. Recently, I found out that my friend opened Taiyaki shop in Tokyo. I did not know that even though it opened 8 month ago...

I suddenly found out about the Taiyaki shop, so I found his shop's HP and went there last Sat.

OMG. I did not see him for a long time, so I am so happy to see him and to eat his Taiyaki.

When I went there, I realized that one of other friend also works there. Ahaha. It was so interesting. Because my friend told me that there are two workers which I know. And, when I went there, yes, there were two of my friends at the store. I did not see them for a long time, so it was really great time to see them.

For Taiyaki, there are many flavor, so it was hard to decide which one I should eat...

And, I chose one for eat-in and three more for to-go. It was delicious. It is hard to explain about texture... maybe... Mochi?Bread?... I am not sure...Sorry, but it is delicious.

So, I decide to go back there on the weekend again. I am looking forward to eating different flavor. Will try to explain to you about texture and flavor again...

Tomo san & Ryo, Thank you very much. I will be at your store soon!!!

English Scone!

Do you like to eat English Scone with Jam and Cream? I love it!!!

When I went to England, I felt in love with Scone. I think ... I was 15 years old???

I still remember that there was small cafe in Cambridge. I went to the cafe everyday during my lunch break. There were Cherry scone, Cheese scone, and Plain scone... they were all delicious.

I do not know why but still remember the taste...

Actually, I stopped by London before going to Tokyo in begging of this year. At that time, I was craving to have scone, so went to cafe in London to eat scone!!!

I ordered Scone with Jam&Cream!!! It was delicious with English Tea!

You know what I should bake it by myself. Yeah, I should try it!!!

Oh, sorry. I was talking by myself...

Well, I will try to bake scone. Please look forward to see my blog about "Making Scone". Ahaha...

Akashiyaki(明石焼）

Hi. I would like to share one of my favorite food. It is Akishiyaki. This is similar to Takoyaki(たこ焼き). Do you know Takoyaki? It is really famous food in Osaka, Japan. I like Takoyaki, but I really like Akashiyaki because of the broth and taste.

"Akashiyaki is a small round dumpling from the city of Akashi in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. Made of an egg-rich batter and octopus dipped into dashi (a thin fish broth) before eating, locals in the Akashi area refer to it simply as tamagoyaki."(Wikipedia)

I do not know why, but like Akashiyaki better than Yakoyaki...because I feel that Akishiyaki is light snack.

When I went to Kobe in Japan, I had great Akashiyaki there. I love it!!!

I recommend that you should try this food!!!
