The second article about Japanese fashion magazines! A new spring season has come, and each magazine seems to be full of motivation. As mentioned previously, Japanese readers love the free-bee the mags offer!

Tai(sea bream)-yaki(bake) is a Japanese fish-shaped waffle within sweet bean paste.

Its a casual snack even you can eat while walking. Daikanyama kurodai is a famous yummy taiyaki shop :9

We tried “plain” basic sweet bean paste with mochi dumpling. In addition, they have “maccha” and “black sesame” taste. Can you see we’ve got “grown-up” size & “baby” size?
