![]() It makes it to sea, and narrowly escapes being eaten by the different sea animals. The song talks about a Taiyaki pastry that comes to life and gets away from its baker. The Song That Popularized Taiyakiĭuring the mid-70’s, emerged a classic Japanese children’s song called “Oyoge! Taiykai-kun” that made the dessert even more popular among kids (and adults alike). ![]() This would later be copied by other stores and vendors, muddling the source and authenticity of taiyaki. It would later develop more chains around Tokyo that would continue making taiyaki desserts. Some say that vendors purposely shaped it to look like sea bream to give the consumer a sense of luxury, as sea bream was considered a very expensive delicacy at that time.Ī store in Tokyo, in the Azabu-Juban region called “Naniyawa original store” claims that it was the first to ever come up with the idea as early as 1909. It began being sold during the Meiji period, but its true origins have been undocumented and unverified such as which pastry shop started this trend, or why the form of a sea bream is chosen to represent the sweet dessert. Taiyaki is almost the same as imagawayaki, but the differences are taiyaki’s shape (taiyaki always comes in the likeness of a fish) and its more prominent crispiness. Imagawayaki is cooked in small pans that are pre-made just to fit their small sizes. It is round, and its soft exterior is made of a slightly thicker batter and is also filled with mashed red bean paste. They would serve this in Tokyo’s Kanda district, particularly at the Kanda Imagawabashi Bridge. Imagawayaki – also known as “oobanyaki” in Kansai - is a snack that dates as far back as the Edo period. The History of Taiyakiīefore Taiyaki, there was “imagawayaki”. Because they sound so alike, the Japanese consider the dish as a metaphor of good luck and eat it to acquire such luck. When you look closer, there is more etymology in play here, because “sea bream” in Japanese is “tai-madai”, which is very close to the word “medatai” which is the Japanese definition of prosperous and/or happy. ![]() When you break down the words, “tai” stands for sea bream, and “yaki” means grilled/baked. “Taiyaki”, when translated from Japanese to English, means “baked/grilled sea bream”. Though the most common version of taiyaki is filled with that red bean paste, fillings of Taiyaki don’t always have to be made from that particular mixture it can be made from other ingredients and flavors. Taiyaki usually is best served crispy and golden-brown. It pops out compared to the rest of the desserts because it’s molded to look like a fish, with all the details (fins, scales, eyes, tail) meticulously engraved on the pastry. What’s interesting about the taiyaki, most of all is its shape. Usually sold on the streets or in festivals, taiyaki is a Japanese dessert whose outer layer is made from a pancake/waffle batter, and whose inner layer is (usually) made from sweetened azuki beans, mashed into a red bean paste. One dessert that stands out is the taiyaki. Japanese are fond of using both rice and wheat in their desserts, flavoring it with what is abundant in terms of their agriculture, such as beans, green tea, sweet potato, and melons. On the other hand, Japan is a country that does not fall short in their list of sweets and desserts. that are popular due to the availability of their source ingredients. Doughnuts and corn flakes are direct examples of popular pastries in the U.S. In the U.S.A., for instance, a lot of wheat and corn fields yield a lot of raw material, so you’ll see many desserts using flour and high fructose corn syrup. The sweets native to a nation are usually made from whatever food product is common in their country. Each country has a wide selection of desserts to try out, and while many of them are similar in some ways compared to their neighboring nations, they are also different in many aspects. However, it is a bit too sweet when i ate the whole thing.Sweets and pastries come in all shapes and sizes, and different flavors in this world. The wafer layer was very soft and is easy to chew and bite off unlike some others which i’ve tried. Personally, i think it’s one of the sweetest vanilla ice cream i’ve ever tried. The vanilla ice cream was thick and sweet. I was surprise when i first bite into it but i think the chocolate goes along well with the red bean paste and vanilla ice cream. There is also a thin layer of chocolate coating on the other edge of the wafer “crust”, along with another thin layer of red bean paste. It’s very easy to digest and doesn’t feel gritty. Surprisingly i fell in love with this because the red bean was very fragrant. I’m personally not a fan of red bean desserts and picked this up on accident. On one side of the ice cream, there is a thick layer of red bean paste. Hii, i’m gonna share about this Imuraya Taiyaki Red Bean Vanilla Ice Cream that i tried yesterday ^^.
