Making Taiyaki


I bought three custard taiyaki at the new shop and asked if I could take a picture through the window. They were making some. The worker on the right is making okonomi taiyaki (see post below). She is closing the iron mold (actually it looks like Teflon).

The worker on the left is squirting batter into a mold. She has already squirted batter into one side of the mold. She will then squirt custard or adzuki beans onto one side. She will close the mold when the outside of the cake is browned. Then she will flip the closed mold from one side to the other on top of the stove.

The cooked taiyaki are placed in a rack in the window. The sign says "custard 130 yen".
