Don't you think Christmas is a Western confectionery? Some Japanese sweets can enjoy the Christmas atmosphere! The creative Taiyaki shop "Asakusa Ninja Taiyaki" will sell the Christmas limited menu "Christmas Tree Taiyaki" from December 1st.

Christmas Tree Taiyaki is a Christmas version of the shop's popular menu "Vanilla Soft Taiyaki" that uses soft serve ice cream. The menu is made with a cut in Taiyaki, served with matcha soft serve ice cream that looks like a tree, and topped with "Shuriken-yaki" instead of stars. I saw that the green color of the matcha software contributed significantly to the tree-like effect.

The price is 340 yen for a plain tree (without red bean paste) and 380 yen for anko and tree. This is a Christmas menu unique to Taiyaki restaurants where you can enjoy "hot" and "cool" at the same time! It's said that this shop is located along the street from Asakusa Station to Sky Tree, so it might be a good idea to walk around.

"Asakusa Ninja Taiyaki" also sells "Tie Taiyaki" that looks like a tie!
