Just watching the making taiyaki making process is a treat. Such care is made to cook them the exact right amount and to trim off any extra bits. Convenient location in the grocery and by other food stalls. We highly enjoyed the Gimme S'mores, but it was truly difficult to decide, since the menu has such inventive choices. We also saw some people getting the soufflé pancakes, which looked incredibly fluffy and fun. Will need to try taiyaki in Japan now!

We were absolutely thrilled to find authentic taiyaki in the food court at Uwajimaya grocery store. It's something we haven't had since Japan, so it was a real treat. My husband got the Jiro (adzuki bean paste), and it really did look and taste like the real deal. The batter was nicely cooked, and the filling was just right. It's simple, but sometimes simple is best! I was really intrigued by the rest of the menu as well. There are some really cool flavor combos, and I really enjoyed watching the taiyaki maker do his thing. There are big windows so you can see all the action. If I ever come back, I'll definitely pop by to try one of the savory options.

Always missed their food truck but finally caught them at uwajimaya. Good quality, a treat since pricey per piece. I went with the classic red bean & dokii coconut seasonal. Tasty. Workers keep it running meticulously. Impressed with the operations. Better deal (less choices though) at Somi Somi but they have been sold out of red bean the last two times (tukwila). Nice treat in Seattle.

Really warm, fresh, and flavorful! We got the Donkii Kongu (monthly seasonal for October) -- taiyaki filled with toasted coconut, banana, and vanilla custard! Wow, between the three of us who shared it, we all LOVED it. Not overbearingly sweet, and all the ingredients were perfectly balanced. Pretty sure they use an actual banana in it, so it tasted like Thai Fried Banana a bit. The only thing is that, for me, I like a mochi-dough texture for taiyaki (like Somi Somi), and this one is more bread like. My friend says she prefers the bready texture, so perhaps it's just personal preference.

Convenient food stall right in Uwajimaya with a ton of savory and sweet taiyaki options. You can watch them make it right through the window which is really cool. We just tried the classic red bean one, which was very good. Tasted like a pancake filled with not-too-sweet, fresh red bean paste. There were several other flavors, including an ube custard, that we would have also liked to try. Unfortunately we live across the country or we would!

First time coming here and it was quite a treat. I got the savory taiyaki called Domo Arigato Mr Roboto. Haha. Consisted of chorizo, bell peppers, onions, pepper Jack cheese and tortilla chips. Quite an interesting combo and taste. Friendly staff and was able to recommended a few savory flavors. We also got their monthly Donkii Kongu (coconut banana vanilla custard). Also delicious. Price was quite high for taiyaki but when you are on vacay you gotta be free to enjoy it! Will be back here soon. As this was a store they didn't have its own seating. It's part of Uwajimaya food court so you have to sit at communal areas.

Childhood memories came alive as I tasted a freshly grilled bean fish today for the first time as an adult. I grew up on this & it was one of my favorite childhood treats. It still incites warm, cozy memories of biting into a hot, fresh bean fish on a cold winter day. I got the original red bean & also vanilla custard to switch it up. Fluffy waffle with tasty, generous filling. Ooey gooey goodness.

yes. Yes. YES! We've been waiting to try BeanFish out ever since we discovered it a year or so ago, when it was sadly closed at the time. And despite having passed through Seattle multiple times since then, and as a trip to Uwajimaya on the way home is basically a requirement, our last few visits to the Emerald City ended up being past closing time, so we've missed out and been jonesing to try BeanFish several times. Finally, we managed to make it on time, this last weekend. Verdict: hell yeah! Tasty taiyaki treats are truly terrific! I had the K-Pop (kimchi, korean kalbi beef and pepper jack cheese), while my wife had the Big Kahuna (Spam, Japanese 7-Spice, pineapple pepper jack), both of which were exactly what we were looking for. And although mine was a little smaller than hers, she ended up being unable to finish the massive thing, and passed the savings onto me! Obviously we tend to prefer savory over sweet, but there were a couple that definitely would have tempted us, had this not been planned as our evening meal, and we both were stuffed by the end of it. Regardless, we have a new Uwaji's food court favorite, and it will be hard for us to choose otherwise during our next visit to our favorite grocery store!
