"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.

Most Americans have never heard of taiyaki; here you can discover firsthand what you've been missing." - Brad Japhe
