Customers are greatly satisfied as the azuki bean filling is filled all the way to the tail
Naniwaya Sohonten has been making taiyaki (sea bream-shaped cakes with red bean fillings) since 1909. It is called Naniwaya, which means Osaka, because the founder came from Osaka. Taiyaki's thinly baked skin is crispy and gives out a great flavor. Red beans, which was cooked for 8 hours, fills inside the taiyaki, all the way to the tail. You can also enjoy fried noodles, sweet red bean soup, and shaved ice with syrup here. It is said that the 1975's mega hit song called Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun was written with this shop being the model.
