This recommendation is for those who love croissants or mille-feuille pastry dough. Here, you can enjoy taiyaki made with a crunchy croissant-style dough!

We walked past by chance and saw a photo of an açai bowl, it was worth it. The portions are a bit smaller thank what we’re used too back home but everything was fresh and cold. The size difference between medium and large wasn’t very noticeable. Cute place, wish they had their doggies there

It’s a croissant taiyaki shop that also serves as a café. They offer a wide variety of flavors, all freshly made — the custard and chocolate are especially delicious. Inside, the café also serves açaí and lunch menu items like pasta, which are tasty and reasonably priced. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming. Since there are only one or two staff members working, it might take a bit of time, but it’s a relaxed atmosphere — and do understand for reasonably. Highly recommended!

Best taiyaki I had in Japan. Seriously awesome little spot. Make sure to try the sweet bean and custard.
