History

Taiyaki NYC's official website describes it as "The original Taiyaki ice cream EST. 2016." A press article republished on the site states that Taiyaki NYC became the city's first taiyaki ice cream shop when it opened in September, and that it freshly bakes fish-shaped cones, fills them with red bean paste or custard, and tops them with soft serve. Another republished article quotes co-owner Jimmy Chen explaining that what they sell is different from the traditional taiyaki recipe, describing his version as "crispier and fluffier" than the "cakier" Japanese version. The site's About page states the mission is to unlock a magical exploration of the palette one Taiyaki NYC creation at a time, and describes making taiyaki waffles fresh on-site and churning soft serve in small batches.
