Naniwaya Sōhonten, Traditional confectionery shop in Azabu-Jūban, Japan
Naniwaya Sōhonten specializes in fresh taiyaki, fish-shaped pastries filled with sweet red bean paste prepared through an eight-hour cooking process.
The establishment opened its doors in 1909 when Seijiro Kobe created the first taiyaki, transforming a regular sweet into a fish-shaped dessert.
The fish shape of taiyaki represents sea bream, a symbol of good fortune in Japanese culture, making these sweets particularly meaningful.
Located at 1-8-14 Azabu-Juban in Tokyo, the shop operates from Monday and Thursday to Sunday between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Every taiyaki at Naniwaya Sōhonten receives individual attention during preparation, resulting in a crispy exterior and perfectly balanced filling.
