Taiyaki Kappa

A Kappa Who Loves Taiyaki This is a kappa who absolutely loves taiyaki. The best kind? One filled to the brim with sweet red bean paste. That’s why it has never even considered trying any of the “unusual” taiyaki flavors. One day, a new taiyaki shop opened in front of the station, so the kappa decided to check it out. Without even glancing at the menu, it was about to order its usual red bean taiyaki—when something caught its eye. Mayo Taiyaki. Shock! It had never seen such a thing before. And, as much as it loved taiyaki, the kappa also happened to love mayonnaise just as much. But wait—mayonnaise is supposed to play a supporting role, enhancing the main dish. Curious, the kappa asked the shop owner, “Does this taiyaki have mayonnaise inside?” “Yes, both inside and out.” “Inside and out?” “Exactly. First, we squeeze mayonnaise onto the grill and let it burn completely black. Then, we fill the inside with more mayonnaise. Finally, we sandwich it all together, and it’s done!” Is this guy serious?! Isn’t mayonnaise a liquid? And yet, this method turns it into a solid, only to sandwich it with more liquid? Such a scientific evolution of taiyaki—this shop owner is practically the Einstein of the taiyaki world! …Of course, the kappa bought a red bean taiyaki and went home. size:H50mm
