The red bean bun was 200 yen. When freshly made, the skin is crispy and fragrant! The red bean paste inside is moist and fluffy, with a satisfying texture. As you eat, the crispy texture of the skin weakens towards the end. The freshly made ones are the most delicious!!

I received a taiyaki to take home with red bean paste filling. I microwaved it at home and it became a bit hard, so next time I want to try it fresh. (Oh, what a waste) Personally, I prefer cream filling so I would like to try that as well. Thank you for the meal.

I walked from Kanda. It was late, so I didn't have to wait long to buy it. It's a hagatsuke. Other Japanese sweets are also quite delicious. The crispy wings are delicious, but they go well with sweet red bean paste. It's a taste that makes you want to eat it again. Now it seems like there are branches in various places.

I felt like eating something sweet, so I bought a taiyaki and a strawberry daifuku. The red bean and sweet potato fillings in the taiyaki were cold and the skin wasn't crispy. They were tasty, but I had to microwave them before eating. The strawberry daifuku was delicious as usual. I wish the taiyaki had been warmer since the store is close to my house and it shouldn't have cooled down so quickly.

While taking a stroll in Ogawa Town, I came across a sign for "taiyaki" and couldn't resist buying one. The taiyaki had a crispy outer layer resembling the wings of a dumpling. It was my first time trying taiyaki with such wings, almost like a fish print. When you take a bite, the crispy and crunchy texture is the first thing you notice. The outer layer is thin. The filling inside is not too sweet, but refreshing. There was plenty of filling, evenly distributed throughout. I enjoyed both the outer layer and the filling. The filling was slightly sweeter than the taiyaki from Yanagiya in Ningyocho, a renowned sweets shop, which I personally prefer. However, compared to Futaba in Yotsuya, another renowned shop, this taiyaki was closer to my taste. The perfect combination of the crispy outer layer and the refreshing filling after the initial crunch was delightful. This taiyaki, like a rewarding treat stumbled upon during a leisurely walk, is something I would definitely buy again if I come across it.

I was walking drunk and bought a taiyaki with red bean paste and sweet potato filling. However, it was cold. This never happened when I bought it from another store before. Did they have leftovers from the sudden heavy rain? Hmm. The unique skin was also wrinkled. What a disappointment. This time was a big miss.

While walking from Kanda towards Ochanomizu, I remembered there was a taiyaki shop and decided to stop by and purchase one. Lately, taiyaki shops have seemed quite pricey, but this one was very reasonable at 200 yen. The outer shell was crispy and delicious, making it a very enjoyable taiyaki.

I received a souvenir from an acquaintance. It's a rare taiyaki with wings. It looks like a fish fossil... The taste itself is not particularly different from others, but it was delicious with a moderate sweetness. Since it was a take-out, it became moist and soft when it cooled down, but I imagine it would be even more delicious crispy when freshly baked.

When you come to Ogawa-cho, it's a must to eat taiyaki with wings in front of the shop. On this day (Sunday after 12 o'clock), there was no wait. I ordered the one with sweet bean paste and enjoyed it while looking at the intersection. The wings were crispy. The whole taiyaki was filled with bean paste from head to tail, and it was very satisfying.

The taiyaki shop with a crispy outer layer. The taiyaki here is thick and moist. Although I prefer a crispy texture, this one was still delicious. The thick taiyaki might lead to some waste, which could contribute to SDGS activities. It's a good option for a quick and light lunch when you're short on time. I will visit again.

After having curry for lunch in Jinbocho, I headed towards Ogawamachi/Awajicho area to buy some taiyaki as a souvenir for my home. I went to "Kanda Daruma" for the first time, and found it at the corner of a crossroads using a map. This time, I purchased their famous "winged taiyaki" set, along with other items. The winged taiyaki set (3 red bean paste, 2 cream) cost ¥1,120, the karinto manju (3 sweet potato paste, 3 red bean paste) cost ¥800, and the salted soybean daifuku (2 pieces) cost ¥400. When you warm up the taiyaki in the microwave or toaster, the wing part becomes crispy. It was my first time trying winged taiyaki, and it felt like a good deal somehow. The karinto manju stayed crispy even when cooled, and my family loved it, saying "this is delicious!" The salted soybean daifuku had a soft texture and was also very tasty. Thank you for the meal.

The Mitarashi dango from Kanda Daruma has large wings attached to it. I can't resist buying the chestnut-filled taiyaki that is only available in autumn. The chestnut flavor is really prominent. It must be autumn. However, the thin-skinned taiyaki allows you to enjoy the deliciousness of the skin itself. The wings are crispy, while the inside of the dough is moist and chewy. Delicious!

Recently, I have been going to play with Yukarin a lot, who lives around here, so I wanted to buy a small souvenir to bring when I visit her. I stopped by this shop a few times with a light feeling, but it was a hit! I probably tried all the varieties, and they were all delicious. Apparently, "Taiyaki Kanda Daruma" is famous. The fried karinto was incredibly tasty, and I repeated it many times. The seasonal taiyaki that changes depending on the season was also great. ❤️

On this day, in the rain, I went to Kanda to buy a snowboarding set. I decided to save on shipping costs and bring it back by car to Tokyo. Parking fees were high everywhere! It took some time to set up the snowboard and bindings even after purchasing them. During the wait, I went to this place. It's a taiyaki shop on the corner of the intersection! They also sell strawberry daifuku and karintou manju! My two children wanted to try the karintou manju, so I ordered that too! They said it comes in a box of 6, so I added one sweet potato karintou manju. I was impressed the first time I tried karintou manju, but now I just taste the oil. The taiyaki has wings! But it's not particularly delicious. I'm happy that there's a lot of filling (flour) in it. Thank you for the meal! It's the main store of the Daruma taiyaki shop! It felt special! They asked if I wanted to eat it right away, and when I said yes, they reheated it for me! But then they put it in a thin paper bag and handed it to me, with an umbrella in one hand, I couldn't hold 5 taiyaki in the other hand (-_-メ) and for a moment, I felt annoyed. It's not good. I quickly called my child to pick it up, but still... One taiyaki costs 200 yen. One karintou manju costs 150 yen.

I visited around 11:55 am. It seems that Mr. Kanda Daruma operates 7 stores under the company Roots. Roots also operates a shop called Kajoan, so there are likely many regular customers for their taiyaki-style confectionery. They offer tempting items like mitarashi dango, warabi mochi, and strawberry daifuku. I ordered the trademarked feathered taiyaki displayed in front of the shop. I chose the Custard Cream 220 yen, a fusion of Japanese and Western flavors. The product arrived in 3 minutes, and I ate it immediately. The feathered part was crispy, and the custard cream was not too sweet, complementing the flavor of the skin. Thank you for the meal.

Whenever I go to Kanda, I always buy it (*^^*) The crispy taiyaki with wings and thin skin is delicious! They had a seasonal limited edition sweet potato filling, so I got one with sweet potato and one with red bean (*ˊ˘ˋ*)｡♪:*° I usually eat it right away, but I got full this time so I took it home. I heard it's delicious when you reheat it in the toaster, so I'll warm it up and enjoy it later (*ˊ˘ˋ*)

They make freshly baked taiyaki and the shop is quite spacious, so you can enjoy it hot on the spot. The outer shell is crispy and the filling is delicious. I personally prefer it a bit crispier, but the chewy texture is also good for taiyaki lovers. It would be nice to have a taiyaki shop like this near my home. In fact, there were quite a few people stopping by casually, even around 7:30 in the evening.

Reservation: Not required Wait time: None Number of visitors: 1 person Duration of stay: 5 minutes Price: 150 yen per person This famous takoyaki shop is known for its delicious takoyaki with crispy wings. The wings are crispy and delicious, and thanks to them, there is a satisfying amount of red bean paste inside the takoyaki from head to tail.

I bought chilled taiyaki for dessert after a meal. On a hot day, I decided to try chilled taiyaki because I wanted something cold. It turned out to be delicious and I think it might become addictive. It tasted like eating a cold taiyaki or a chilled dorayaki. The texture was a bit chewy, similar to eating dango. The cold red bean paste inside was also quite tasty!

It seems like a famous shop in Kanda that specializes in taiyaki, but I tried their mitarashi dango and it was delicious. The mochi was very soft, filled with sweet red bean paste, and generously coated with mitarashi sauce on the outside. It was really tasty.
