Each one had just the right amount of sweetness and a fluffy texture. They were delicious when they were still warm from being baked. The owner and the staff were all very pleasant. I highly recommend trying the whale-shaped pastries at Kujiraya.

They offer chocolate, custard, and red bean paste flavors (each for 150 yen). Currently, they also have a limited-time tiramisu-style option (180 yen). Be careful, as it has a different texture compared to traditional taiyaki. Although there was only one female staff member, she quickly served us and was very polite. It was convenient to pay with PayPay. The only drawback was that they didn't have a parking lot.
