"Taiyaki Wakaba's glass-encased kitchen is viewable from the street and bordered by a green awning. Inside, craftsmen crank out taiyaki, a traditional seafood dessert, as they've been doing so skillfully here for more than a century. Sea bream, red bean paste, and batter combine to form an unlikely confection. Molded into the shape of an actual fish, this afternoon snack strikes the perfect balance between salty, sweet, and savory. Most Americans have never heard of taiyaki; here you can discover firsthand what you've been missing." - Brad Japhe
