Taiyaki is the sweet ending to a Japanese street food meal: a warm, lightly crisp cake pressed in a fish-shaped mold and filled edge to edge with smooth custard. Ours is made to order so it arrives hot, soft in the middle and delicately golden outside - the dessert Calgary guests call "delightful" after a plate of takoyaki.
In Japan taiyaki is sold from street stalls and eaten on the walk home, and that is exactly how we treat it. The batter is poured into the mold, filled, then pressed and cooked until the shell just sets, giving you a thin crisp edge and a tender, cake-like centre.
Our custard filling is smooth and gently sweet rather than heavy, so it finishes a savoury meal without overwhelming it. It travels well too, which makes taiyaki a favourite add-on for takeout orders and catering trays across northeast Calgary.

"I highly recommend visiting this establishment for Takoyaki, particularly on Tuesdays when they offer a special promotion: buy one, get one free. They have a wide variety of topping options available. Additionally, the Japanese dessert Taiyaki, filled with custard, is delightful."

"A great spot for japanese street food! We had the classic takoyaki and beef japadog. Both very flavourful and piping hot. Probably one of the only places in Calgary that serves takoyaki fresh off the griddle and not from frozen packs."
