One of the better taiyakis I've had. Even better than the popular / famous stalls in Osaka. I find the custard one here is so smooth and creamy and actually has the custard taste whereas the one I tried in Osaka tasted artificial, gooey, and texture was just off. Even the red bean here is generous with their filling. And the crust so crispy! Plus it's gluten free (healthier and I'm amazed it taste so good for gluten free) Such a good hidden gem!

I found this place as I was looking for gluten free taiyaki. I ordered the sausage and egg, sweet potato and custard taiyaki, they were more than exquisite, they were that good that I also took one more to go. I am very happy as a celiac to had the chance to eat here (also my not celiac partner was very happy, best taiyaki he tried so far). The service was awesome as well.

Tucked away down a laneway, it could be easily missed, but it is worthy of the discovery! Gluten free takoyaki! So good and tasty and you could be convinced it's not gotten free at all.

Amazing gluten free taiyaki. We found this place by accident while looking for a small treat and really glad we found it. My girlfriend is coeliac and this place has everything gluten free. We ordered all the menu and the batter was very fluffy, you couldn’t even realise it was gluten free. Our favourite was the cheesy one! The lady was so nice that she wrote the names of each flavour for us to recognise them, thank you!
