This is behind the counter at a local Japanese Taiyaki Red Bean Paste Sweets Shop in Tokyo Japan. Taiyaki is a traditional Japanese sweet caked filled with glorious red bean paste and perfectly sandwiched between fish shaped like-pancakes. This Tokyo hidden gem is located just a 2 minute walk from Tokyo’s ebisu station. This shop is known for its thin crispy crust and its overwhelming amount of Tsubuan, a chunky style of red bean paste, all freshly prepared in-store. On a busy day, the shop sells about 1500 taiyaki. Taiyaki itself dates back to Japan’s meiji period, created mysteriously when a vendor decided one day to take a cylinder-shaped Japanese snack called imagawayaki and shape it in the form a tai fish, red sea bream, an auspicious fish Japan commonly used in celebrations. Back then, red sea bream was quite an expensive fish for regular people, so taiyaki became a popular lucky fortune alternative. In Japan, red bean paste used to be more of a savory food, when monks used it as a substitute for meat. The shift to a sweet, occurred during the Muromachi period as the tea ceremony became popular and Japanese indulged in sweet anko to pair with their tea.
