Asakusa Taiyaki-Making Experience | Bake Your Own Fish-Shaped Sweet in 1 Hour

A Taiyaki Workshop Along Your Asakusa Stroll

This is a locally-hosted group experience in Asakusa, Tokyo, lasting one hour. The program includes a walk through Asakusa's nostalgic old-town streets on the way to the workshop, making it easy to fit into your sightseeing plans.

Taiyaki is a fish-shaped baked sweet, a familiar street snack sold on Japanese corners. This experience lets you discover, with your own hands in Asakusa itself, how it's actually made—something you'd never learn just by buying and eating one.

Guidance is offered in both English and Japanese, so international participants can follow along with every step.

First, Choose Your Filling: Sweet or Savory

The experience begins with choosing what to fill your taiyaki with. Alongside the classic sweet filling, savory options are also available, and you can even mix them together.

Will you go with the classic sweet red bean paste, or combine sweet and savory to create your own personal flavor? This choice will shape the taste of the one you eventually eat.

Once you've decided on your combination, it's time to move on to pouring the batter and baking.

Pour the Batter and Bake It in a Fish-Shaped Mold

Next comes the process of pouring batter into a special fish-shaped mold, wrapping it around your chosen filling, and baking it. You'll recreate, with your own hands, a scene familiar from Japanese street corners.

As it bakes, a sweet aroma fills the air, and opening the mold is the highlight of the experience. Each taiyaki turns out a little differently, even with the same ingredients.

Once baked, you can add your own personal touch before it's time to enjoy it.

Decorate It, Then Snap a Photo Before You Eat

Once your taiyaki is baked, there's time set aside to decorate it your own way and take a photo before tasting. Photographing it before eating is the customary flow of this experience.

The fish shape alone makes for a great photo. You can capture your one-of-a-kind taiyaki in the palm of your hand as a memory of your time in Asakusa.

After the photo session, it's finally time to enjoy your freshly baked taiyaki—tasting the sweet and savory combination you chose for yourself, while it's still warm.
