Okumanya

Very nice taiyaki (fish-shaped waffle cake with stuffing of red bean paste, custard, or other fillings) with a variety of flavours to choose from. Every month there’s a special flavour for the month, giving it an extra bit of fun. The sundae set is also nice, with elements of traditional Japanese sweets like red beans, sticky rice balls, etc. Nice location and the eat-in area is spacious. English menu and English service are available. Great food and great experience.

Got excellent, delicious Matcha Taiyaki Parfait, but got even more outstanding service! The missus who helped me order was so welcoming and made my evening instantly better by being so cheerful - she even made great efforts to understand my broken Japanese Felt like I was talking to someone from home Eating here was one of my favorite experiences on this trip so far, I'm so happy to have visited Okumanya this evening Highly recommended!

very friendly atmosphere and i felt like home. matcha latte was nice, green tea was very hot and delicious. we ordered two different sets, all yummy

Very cute shop with the most lovely owners and great food! I had the traditional taiyaki with the recommended cold Japanese tea and it was excellent! A great combo. My friend had the parfait taiyaki set with matcha ice cream and chocolate sauce, as well as a matcha latte, which was also really good! The menu has an English side and the owners speak good English too so if you don’t speak Japanese it’s no problem!

We love this Taiyaki shop! My favorite is the custard. We tried the parfait this time and it was delicious! The service is always amazing!

Good for foreigners, the ingredients are organic and no artificial flavors. I had fun time, had many different taiyaki to taste, will come back again.

We had taiyaki for dessert after dinner every night during our stay while in Akasaka and they did not disappoint! Their taiyaki is made fresh to order, with a wide selection of flavours to choose from. They also offer cold and hot drinks that you can have with your taiyaki when you dine in. We often ordered takeaway because we would visit late at night after a long day of exploring and eating, but if we had more time, I would certainly have dined in. You can watch them freshly make your taiyaki from a window out the front of the store, or sit indoors and enjoy their cosy, super clean dining area. Popular amongst tourists AND locals, I miss this store already now that I’m back in my home country. The owners, Eiji and Megumi are the best! They are so friendly and kind, speak English and strive for the best service. I’m thrilled to make friends with them and hope to see them again when we visit Akasaka again! 10/10 recommend! Tip: if you order taiyaki fresh on a cold day/night, eat it straight away. Like any hot batter food item, it will cool down quickly when it’s a super cold time of the day! Eiji and Megumi, if you see this, hello and thank you for your great hospitality! I’ll be dreaming about their taiyaki until my next visit to Tokyo.

Their taiyaki is made to perfection! Nice crispy exterior with lotsa red bean stuffing. Ordered their nori taste, it’s really good prefect mix of red bean with nori. Love it PS you know it’s a hit when locals come here for taiyaki too
