I hadn't eaten lunch, so I bought this traditional red bean paste taiyaki to satisfy my hunger. It was incredibly delicious! The skin was crispy and the sweetness of the red bean paste was just right. I can't think of any way to make this taiyaki taste even better. It was perfect. I would like to bring my partner here next time. I'm not sure how many points to give this taiyaki, but it's definitely the best one I've had in the past 10 years.

On a certain weekday, during the year-end rush, I happened to see a sign saying "All items 20 yen off" as I was passing by, so I decided to stop by this taiyaki shop located on the 1st floor above the Daichi Subway Station. The shop is situated in a small hut-like building just before entering the Toko Store area. On this day, I decided to try something different from my usual red bean filling, so I chose the "Custard Cream (130 yen)." The size was slightly smaller than average, with a thin and crispy outer shell. The custard cream inside was not overly sweet, but had a rich and moderately eggy flavor with a hint of vanilla. Next, I tried the "Sweet Potato Paste (130 yen)," which also came in a small size. The filling inside the skin seemed to be a mixture of mashed sweet potato and light white bean paste, creating a well-balanced taste. Overall, they were perfect as a snack after a meal. Thank you for the delicious treats.

I always wanted to try eating just the dough of takoyaki or the filling of taiyaki. Finally, my dream came true! I purchased just the dough of taiyaki and white bean paste taiyaki. The dough only was a simple dough with a nice balance of sweetness, perfect for a snack. The white bean paste seemed to be a limited-time offering and had a gentle sweetness, making it easy to eat. Both the dough only and the white bean paste were delicious.

This is a place in Atsubetsu-ku, on the first floor of Capo Oyachi in Oyachi Higashi 3-chome. For the exact location, please check the map on Tabelog as usual. I recently had a salty dish and felt like having something sweet, so I decided to visit this restaurant. When I arrived on foot, I found out that today is a special day with 20 yen off on taiyaki. I went to the order counter and got the basic red bean taiyaki called "Shumari Azuki." I paid and received the taiyaki. I decided to eat it in the car. The taiyaki was a bit small, and the skin was soft. The red bean filling was not too sweet, but the texture was a bit disappointing as it was slightly mushy. I saw that they also offer "Silk Soft Serve Ice Cream" on the menu, so I plan to try that next time.

I had a meeting in Ooyachi from noon, so I stopped by Taiyaki Ikkyu Ooyachi store for some sweets after lunch. It is located in front of CAPO on the 1st floor of Higashi-ko Store. This time, I bought the "Taiyaki (Custard Cream) (140 yen)". It is a bit smaller in size compared to the typical taiyaki. The custard cream did not disappoint, it was delicious! It felt like a new sensation of taiyaki, so I would say it's worth trying. There were other options available, so I would like to try them next time.

I stopped by after leaving the hospital and purchased the limited-time "Cheese" and "Silk Soft Serve Ice Cream". The taiyaki from Ikkyu-san is a bit small, but the skin is sweet, so it's satisfying. The "Cheese Taiyaki" (150 yen including tax) has a custard cream with a slightly added cream cheese, quite sweet cheese cream that I found a bit too rich. I think it would be tastier with a bit of saltiness in the cheese cream since the skin is also sweet. The "Silk Soft Serve Ice Cream" (290 yen including tax) has a smooth and fluffy texture, like whipped cream. It is creamy and delicious! It's reasonably priced at 290 yen, perfect for a snack during shopping. Next time, I'll try the red bean paste that I love. Thank you, Ikkyu-san!

Connected to the Oyachi Station on the subway, on the first floor of the Toko Store, there is "Taiyaki Ikkyu." I don't have much time!! I'll have one "Matcha Cream" for 150 yen... Don't say just one! I can't eat multiple taiyaki by myself, so I'll eat it on the go... The size is a bit small... 150 yen is expensive for this! The slightly warm matcha flavor with a hint of bitterness and mild sweetness is quite delicious! The cream is a bit sparse and there are noticeable hollow spaces inside... The taste is good though... The salesman at the counter is friendly (laughs). Thank you for the meal~

This is a taiyaki shop located on the 1st floor of the Odaiba Capo store in July 2017. I bought a limited edition zunda taiyaki this time. It's a cute taiyaki with a smiley face. The dough is slightly sweet, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, very delicious. It is filled with plenty of zunda bean paste, not too sweet, just right. They also sell taiyaki with just the dough. In addition, they have other flavors such as red bean, custard, and soy milk paste. Thank you for the meal. ✿ฺ(๑´ڡ`๑)✿ฺ.

The dough is similar to Shumari Azuki, and the cream is smooth and mild. It's a simple but delicious taiyaki. ▼Impressions▼ (June 2017) This branch of the popular taiyaki shop at Sapporo Factory opened inside Capo Oyachi's Tokko Store on November 1, 2016. I have visited this place during its limited-time pop-up shop and now it's a permanent store. I have tried the two items mentioned above during my recent visit, and I found the taiyaki to be unique in shape and size, with delicious azuki beans and a simple yet tasty cream. I still have more flavors to try, so I look forward to visiting the main store at Sapporo Factory for different varieties.

The taiyaki here is small, which is great because I want to try different flavors. The German potato and lemon flavors are limited edition. The German potato flavor is quite spicy with a hint of pepper. The sweet red bean paste filling is thick and not too sweet. When fresh, it's crispy, but when it cools down, it becomes chewy. It can be revived to crispy by wetting it with water and toasting it for 3 minutes. I saved the remaining custard, lemon, zunda, and red bean paste in the freezer to try them crispy next time.
