Taiyaki is an authentic and very distinct Japanese fish-shaped dessert. The most common filling is red bean paste that is made from sweetened azuki beans. Hiiragi is a small shop located in Ebisu that has Taiyaki with a subtle level of sweetness. If you eat it right when it’s freshly made, it’s perfectly crisp on the outside and the combination of the hot redbean filling with the cake surrounding it tastes so good. But remember, the key is to eat it when it’s freshly made since it’s crucial to have the beans be hot on the inside.

Hi I’m thinking of visiting the Taiyaki place in ebisu next month. Do you know what time it opens ? Thank you
They are open from 11:00~20:00 but will close early if they sell out. Closed on Mondays. From my experience, if you go before 18:30, you will be fine.
Thank you for all the places you suggest I’m going to quite a few when I’m over next month. Coming to Tokyo from the UK for the Sakura then to Kyoto .
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy your visit to Japan and the food :)
