      @@TrumpIsrael2024 I mentioned that this Tayaki IS vegan, I said “original” because they seem to have variations there which might not be, like the ones with cream cheese, but their regular / original one is indeed vegan. There many pastries of this kind that at first sight seem vegan but end up containing eggs or milk and in Japan is not easy to find 100% vegan sweets - but we strongly recommend this shop!!

    ありがとうございます Paolo さん your videos are so interesting and really help me learn Japanese ! It's great how you ask the questions in English the let the people respond in Japanese that little bit of help with context is just enough for me to be prepared for the snswer and understand the Japanese (or at least some of it 😂).

    It's surprising that a shop can exist with multiple employees and they are only selling mainly one item. Really speaks to the quality of the taiyaki.

    I sure wish I had known about this treat when I was visiting Japan! Next time, I guess. They must make a good product to be busy all the time!

    Tried Tayaki at a stall when I went to Hiroshima last summer. Never could I imagine that jam made out of beans could taste that good.
