The shop was opened in 2013 by Yoh Daichi, who learnt his craft in Tokyo. Cooked in corn oil, the <em>taiyaki<\/em> are vegan, and have a delightfully subtle taste. The batter is cooked for forty minutes (most shops do it in ten) until light and crisp, while the <em>azuki<\/em> (red bean) filling takes five hours to prepare and is restrained in its sweetness. The <em>taiyaki<\/em> are best enjoyed warm and, at only \u00a5140 each, are an absolute steal. Also available are <em>mochitto taiyaki<\/em> (\u00a5170), which contain <em>mochi<\/em> powder as well as <em>azuki<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class='photo-galleria' >\n\t\t<style
