Let’s Make Your Original TAIYAKI with Your Favorite Ingredients at “Asakusa Taiyaki Guraku”
Taiyaki, a beloved Japanese sweet that’s easy to eat with one hand, is perfect for eating around. But have you ever wanted to try making your own? While it’s hard to recreate your favorite taiyaki without specialized equipment, you can have a hands-on experience at “Asakusa Taiyaki Guraku”. The ingredients are also allowed! Your original one will taste better than any shop-bought taiyaki.
Taiyaki is deeply familiar to Japanese people. It has now expanded its flavors to include savory options like cheese and tuna as well as standard menu Anko (sweet bean paste) and custard cream. However, making your favorite one at home can be challenging without specialized equipment. Fortunately, “Asakusa Taiyaki Guraku” offers full-fledged commercial equipment, allowing you to make it from the dough.
You can visit “Asakusa Taiyaki Guraku” empty-handed because they offer more than 10 types of ingredients, including savory options like kimchi cheese and Okonomiyaki-style ingredients, as well as specialized Tsubuan (mashed bean paste) made by their craftsman, and choose two of these ingredients and make your own taiyaki. The ingredients change depending on what is in stock on the day. You can create your original taiyaki using the special ingredients prepared by the specialty shop. Additionally, bringing your own ingredients is also allowed, so it might be fun to experiment. The required time is 60 minutes and you can make 6 pieces. You can also take them home in a container. Why not share a good memory with your family and friends?
