Tomoe-an is a well-known taiyaki shop in Asagaya, and it’s often busy with a line on weekends. On weekdays, however, it’s usually easy to walk in without waiting. Inside, there is a narrow counter with seating for about four people along the wall, where you can sit while you wait. I ordered the Kōgyoku apple taiyaki and was told it would take about 7–8 minutes. I took a seat, enjoyed some tea, and waited. When the freshly grilled taiyaki was handed to me, it was piping hot. Being careful not to burn myself, I enjoyed it straight from the grill — a truly blissful moment. The crisp exterior and warm, flavorful filling were absolutely delicious. A simple pleasure, done beautifully.

I’m not huge on azuki usually, but the taiyaki in this place is top notch. The cakes are made in small batches. They are crispy and fragrant and houses the red bean paste beautifully. Eat it while it is piping hot.

While walking around Asagaya, we stumbled upon this charming Taiyaki shop, and I’m so glad we did! The taste was absolutely unbelievable—crispy on the outside and filled with the most delicious, perfectly balanced filling inside. It was easily one of the best Taiyaki I’ve ever had. Later, we discovered that this is a very old shop with a long history, and it’s even been featured on some TV shows! It’s clear why it’s so popular—the quality and flavor speak for themselves. If you’re ever in Asagaya, this is a must-visit spot. You won’t regret it!

Tried the taiyaki but it failed from taste angle. Its quite bland and the anko was too sweet. Also the texture of the anko was not like smooth which I personally dont prefer.

This is one of the best i ever had! Not sure whether do they have other outlet?
