Yanagiya
2-minute walk from Ningyocho Station. A taiyaki institution since 1916, considered one of Tokyo's top three taiyaki shops. Crispy thin skin packed with chunky azuki bean paste from Hokkaido. Just ¥200 each. Expect long queues on weekends. Named one of Japan's top 100 traditional sweets shops. Takeout only.
Reviewers rave: 'The real deal taiyaki with 110+ years of history,' 'Unbeatable value at ¥200,' 'Crispy skin packed with sweet bean paste — this is authentic taiyaki,' 'Worth every minute of the queue.'
