The taiyaki here is a work of art 😍🤤 Always freshly made with a delicately sweet crisp exterior and a... mouth-wateringly warm and chewy interior. Warm, almost savory matcha filling with the incredibly creamy black sesame or matcha ice cream is my favorite combo, but you really can’t go wrong with any of their options. They’ve somehow achieved *the* perfectly balanced dessert, the one I’ve dreamed of my whole life. We drive all the way from Redwood City on the regular for this masterpiece, and most of the time I can’t resist ordering a double order...immediately after eating an enormous dinner.
