I call this the “green fish “ but it’s actually a matcha obanyaki .

This stall has been around at the Takashimaya food market since the beginning of times :) and I’d always swing by to get my share of obanyaki.

I particularly like this matcha red bean obanyaki because it not only looks cute , it is also very delicious ( especially when it has just been freshly made).

The matcha batter is well made with good hints of natural green tea flavour without being too bitter. Slightly crisp but still chewy and soft on the inside and when accompanied with generous red bean filling that’s not too sweet , this is a nice afternoon tea time treat ;)

It is one of the reasons why I would visit the Taka food hall time and again 😊
