First, meet taiyaki.

Taiyaki is a Japanese fish-shaped pastry made with a waffle-like batter. Traditional fillings include sweet bean, custard and chocolate.

The fish shape is part of its charm. Filled taiyaki is a warm pastry you can enjoy on its own. A taiyaki cone uses that familiar shape as a base for soft serve.

Warm meets cold.

A taiyaki cone brings together a lightly crisp exterior, a soft center and creamy soft serve. Choose a current flavor at your shop, then finish with toppings.

We make our soft serve flavors in house. Visit the menu for current Vienna and Chantilly selections, serving options and prices.

Sweet plans for a crowd?

Our catering boxes feature warm filled taiyaki, with dessert shooters available as an add-on. They are a different serving format from a soft serve cone.
