Fish-shaped pastry

Taiyaki is a delightful Japanese pastry shaped like a fish, typically filled with delicious fillings such as red bean paste, custard, or chocolate. This treat draws inspiration from another Japanese delicacy known as Imagawayaki. However, Taiyaki's appeal extends beyond Japan; it has also gained popularity in other East Asian countries. In South Korea, for example, you can find a similar treat called bungeoppang. With its whimsical fish shape and variety of delectable fillings, it's no surprise that Taiyaki has become a beloved snack!
