What is
taiyaki ice cream?
A fish-shaped waffle cone with creamy soft serve. A playful combination of warm pastry, cold ice cream and your favorite toppings.

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.
Explore taiyaki at Rice Culture ↗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.
