But don’t worry, these Kaeruyaki are a sweet treat that’s less intimidating than they sound.
Multiple regional brewers and amazing taiyaki will keep you from getting too thirsty or hungry while you’re at Japan’s newest arcade.
We pick between two Japanese street foods that sound alike, but couldn’t be much more different.
American band who fell in love with taiyaki after visiting Japan finally gets the release they’ve truly been waiting for.
You’ll be tempted to try it because it’s a hard-to-get flavor, but tasting this delectable treat comes with a price.
