Missing Taiyaki This snack is made by pancake and anko (red bean jam) called "Taiyaki". It looks like a red snapper. (Don't you think?:D) In Japanese, we call a read snapper as "Tai". That is why it's called "TAIyaki" (Yaki means bake) It's known as Taiyaki is very popular snack in Japan especially women, elderly people and kids which I don't like it so much. I'm not so much anko lover. There is even a song singing about Taiyaki. It shows how Japanese love it. Everybody knows this song. However I haven't seen it for a long time even a piece of it. Where are they all go? I don't miss it but I just wonder. Thank you.
