Tai-yaki

Less than a week of spring vacation left, so son and I decided to grab the chance to visit the batting cages.  He got in some good hits, and we decided to grab a treat at the tai-yaki stand just outside.  They had an amazing variety: traditional filling of anko (sweet bean paste) in a couple of varieties, popular custard or chocolate filling, and some unusual ones like potato salad or tuna & corn filling.  We were feeling adventurous, rather looking for a sweet treat, so got one with custard and one with chocolate (like a pudding).  I found the custard too sweet (son didn't, fancy that!) but the chocolate was scrumptious!

The golden one is usual style, with a crispy outside and the white one is lightly baked for a soft, mochi-mochi texture.  Crispy is my fave!
