Great Japanese dessert store inside Mitsuwa. Love the red bean Taiyaki. It has abundant filling and outside is crispy.
The staff is quick and nice. She already made some for the day so literally no wait. If not, prob take 5-10min to make a batch. It smells really good. There are seats and tables around from the food court if needed.

I stopped by Mitsuwa yesterday to kill some time while my dog was at a grooming appointment and decided to get some cream-yaki here. Unfortunately, the experience wasn’t great. The lady at the counter was pretty rude for no reason.
When I got there, she was watching something on her phone, so I politely said “hello” to get her attention. It wasn’t too long, but when she came over, I asked for the number 6 (the 6-piece cream-yaki). She just had this really annoyed expression, didn’t say hello back, and the only thing she said the whole time was “it’s $16.”
I still said “thank you, have a good day,” but she completely ignored me. Not sure what her problem was—I was polite the entire time. Maybe she didn’t like that I tried to get her attention or didn’t like how I ordered, who knows. Either way, really unexpected off-putting experience.
The cream-yaki itself was ok, not how I liked it personally. The batter inside was like too mushy, but when I brought it home and put it in the air fryer, it was much better.

Oshinobo is good if you have a hankering for taiyaki. The taste is quite good, but they’re fairly thick, it almost seems like two taiyaki cooked together. I had the azuki filling, which is delicious. It’s quite comparable to the average taiyaki you’d buy from a street vendor in Japan, the type that have stands outside large stores. It’s not quite as crispy and delicious as the taiyaki specialty shops in places like Asakusa and Dotonbori.

been coming here for years and whenever in Mitsuwa, and although they also have some ice creams our go-to is usually their 6pcs cream custards.
all these years, their taiyakis have remained consistent with texture and flavors. Once in a while they have new flavors like chocolate and matcha but otherwise the originals are their red bean (fish shape) and creamyakis (round ones). I find the red bean heavy and filling so I usually stick to the cream taiyakis.
there is usually a wait since they make it fresh but good things are always worth the wait. well for me at least lol
at year 2023 they are still cash only so make sure you have them at hand.

Good amount of red bean paste stuffed in and you get 5 for 7 bucks (buy 4 get 1 free). We actually wanted the cream filled pastry which they said would take 40 minutes to make. That was what I was hoping for, but pressed on time, we weren’t going to wait. Their baked goodies are great when they are just baked and eat it while it’s still hot. Keep a bit of the styro container open so it doesn’t become soggy when your ready to get the next one.

I haven’t been back here in ages. The obanyaki with red bean was as good as I remembered. I think they make their own red bean paste because it’s not as sweet as some other places. The ice cream was good too.
The cashier could use a smile though.

Oishinbo is a must try! Their red bean and cream buns are tasty! Don’t forget a red bean and green tea ice cream cone! Soo good! Cash only!
We went on a Thursday and there was only one worker operating the booth. They were very friendly. Due to the low volume, buns are produced as needed. There was a 20 minute wait. It was worth the wait! Check it out!

Love the cream (custard) and tai-myaki (red bean) here. They make a great snack, take one enjoy it on your stroll along the water out back. They seem to be still cash only and the staff is friendly. They are only set up to make so many at a time, so you may have to wait a little bit if they are in the process of making a new batch.

I visited this restaurant today for the first time. I am Japanese, and this is the same Oobanyaki and Taiyaki that I have eaten in Japan for a long time. The Japanese female staff was wonderful! My kids wanted to eat it, but the store was already about to close the order. She sold them to me without a bad look. Very good service! Thank you(*^^*)

The tai-yaki was okay, but the line is a bit long and the batter isn’t the best. The read bean is really good though. I would try!!
