This class was super fun! Yuko-sensei is a gracious host and an excellent teacher. The class is a cozy and welcoming experience in her home, and you'll leave with cute and delicious goodies 💕 I have to be gluten free, so it was really great to have a few experiences I could freely enjoy without worry. Yuko-sensei was very conscientious about allergies and communicated ahead of time to ensure everything was fine. Since I got two lessons, I was able to do them back to back which was very nice! You'll have a great time, get some tasty recipes to replicate at home, and a chance to explore a very cute neighborhood. Go for it!! (Doubling this review for both my taiyaki and wagashi classes. Both were fantastic!)

We didn't have a tour with Anne & Lauren. We had our tour with Hannah from the company "arigato TRAVEL." Fortunately, Hannah was an absolute pleasure. Our tour with her amounted to the highlight of my month long trip to Japan. Initially I was a bit disappointed that byFood subcontracted their tours after hearing so many positive things about the company online. But again, Hannah was superb, delivering a tour of the highest standard. Thank you, Hannah! Thank you arigato TRAVEL!

Discover the Delightful World of Vegetarian Taiyaki

If you're a fan of culinary adventures and have a penchant for trying unique street foods, then vegetarian taiyaki should be on your list. Originally a Japanese delicacy, taiyaki is a fish-shaped cake that is traditionally filled with sweet red bean paste. In recent years, this charming snack has been adapted to suit various dietary preferences, including vegetarian options. Join us on a journey through the delicious world of vegetarian taiyaki food experiences and explore mouthwatering flavors that cater to your plant-based diet.

Explore a Rich Variety of Fillings

One of the delightful aspects of vegetarian taiyaki is the vast array of fillings that can be explored. While the traditional filling of red bean paste is already vegetarian, many innovative chefs have introduced other tempting vegetarian fillings that tantalize the taste buds. Creamy sweet potato, custard, and chocolate are just a few examples of the delectable fillings that are available for vegetarians. These fillings not only provide variety but also enhance the eating experience by offering a range of textures and flavors.

For those craving a more savory experience, some venues offer taiyaki filled with cheese or mushroom. These savory options are perfect as a light snack and are sure to leave you wanting more. The possibilities are endless, and each bite promises to deliver a burst of flavor, making it a delightful experience for vegetarians.

Experience Taiyaki with a Modern Twist

The beauty of vegetarian taiyaki lies in its ability to blend tradition with innovation. This unique street food retains its classic shape but can be crafted with modern twists to cater to contemporary tastes. Venues offering vegetarian taiyaki often experiment with different batters, such as matcha or chocolate-flavored dough, to bring a new dimension to the classic treat.

Additionally, the presentation of vegetarian taiyaki can be quite appealing, with some being served with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or drizzled with caramel or chocolate sauce. These modern takes not only make the experience more visually appealing but also add layers of flavors, making each taiyaki a delightful creation in itself.

Embrace the opportunity to explore vegetarian taiyaki food experiences that bring together the best of traditional Japanese cuisine with creative, modern influences. Whether you're a seasoned taiyaki enthusiast or trying it for the first time, these vegetarian options are sure to impress and delight your palate.
