You can find a signboard of Amakusa Shiro when passing through a narrow alley. Amairo Cafe Taiyaki is located on the street, which opened as a shop selling local products from Amagusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture. The taiyaki served at this shop is made based on the recipe of Marukin Seika, a long-established taiyaki shop in Amakusa. This cute taiyaki features a charming round shape and 3-dimensional details, including cute eyes, scales, and fins. Its irresistible cuteness will make you reach for your camera without a second thought.

At this cafe, you can enjoy taiyaki in 3 delicious flavors: tsubuan (whole sweet beans), custard, and mix. The mildly sweet Tsubuan is made with red bean paste from Toshoan, a renowned shop that has a long history of over 70 years. Its custard is homemade, and the point is that it is mixed with green tea boiled with milk. The tea flavor spreads in your mouth as soon as you eat. We want you to enjoy the crispy and chewy texture, so we recommend eating it immediately after baking. The size makes it easy to hold in one hand, so it’s great for eating while walking, or you can take a break with a drink in the eat-in space inside the store. The sweet and warm treats are perfect for the upcoming season.
