If you like taiyaki, you probably don't know about the thin-skinned taiyaki chain "Yokohama Kurikoan". We have stores in Kanagawa prefecture, Tokyo, Chiba, and Saitama, and I am always indebted to them.
Did you know that "Magikarp roast " is sold only at some of the stores? The package is also a special design with a "monster ball" drawn on it.
Magikarp is a type of Pokemon that appears in the popular game "Pokemon". Magikarp roast is a roasted carp that is baked in the shape of such magikarp.
The faithfully reproduced Koi King-yaki has a pitiful expression that seems to be frightened somewhere, as if it is complaining "... (Don't eat ...)", but I hesitate for a moment, but I'm afraid. (I'm sorry!) Yeah, it's plump and delicious !!
There are 3 types of bean jam inside. In addition to the standard "Ogura bean paste" (163 yen, tax not included, same below), "milk chocolate" and "fluffy custard" (191 yen each) are available. It makes me happy that the Magikarp's head and tail are tightly packed so that it sticks out when you squeeze it firmly.
Ogura bean paste is made from 100% Hokkaido azuki beans. The moist and elegant sweet bean paste gives off a presence that is comparable to the plump and thick dough. This is Taiyaki! The stable taste.
Milk chocolate is a Western-style taiyaki that melts sweet and bittersweet chocolate cream smoothly. With a relaxed and rich texture, it feels like it's overflowing from your body when you grab it! It goes great with fluffy dough.
Fluffy custard is a custard cream that uses Hokkaido cream. Custard has a refreshing sweetness that doesn't leave behind, and you can eat it refreshingly for its volume. The warm and light mouthfeel is also the best!
Magikarp is also called "the weakest Pokemon in the world" because it can only bounce until it evolves. But even such a weak Pokemon will satisfy our hunger so warmly ...! It was such a snack that gave me a little courage.
How about Magikarp roast that will make your mind and body feel relaxed for the coming chilly season? Please check the official website of Kurikoan and the stores for the stores.
