What Is “Taiyaki Warashibe”?
Quoted from Warashibe Co., Ltd.｜A taiyaki specialty franchise born in Ise-Shima, selling one taiyaki every 5 seconds
“Taiyaki Warashibe” is a taiyaki specialty shop that started in Ise-Shima, Mie. Their taiyaki is made with “Ayahikari,” wheat from Mie Prefecture, and is known for its uniquely chewy texture.

In addition to classic taiyaki, they also seem to offer cute round “Wa no Taiyaki” and “Warashibe Panju,” an Ise specialty. Standard flavors include tsubuan, ogura-an, plain with no filling, pudding, and custard, and it looks like seasonal fillings appear as well〜

Final Thoughts
The notice says they “sell one every 5 seconds,” so they seem to be quite popular. Personally, the round “Wa no Taiyaki” looks so cute that I want to try it〜. They’re opening in late May, so it’s something to look forward to〜
