Maoma Puffed Fish Pastry Introduction
Matsu Taiyaki is known by many in Taiwan as "a red bean cake shaped like a tai fish." However, the significance is different for the Japanese. During the feudal era, only nobles could eat real tai fish, so the common people made red bean cakes in the shape of tai fish to share in the nobility's aura. The owner used to work in a restaurant where he was responsible for baking the dessert "taiyaki," which inspired him to start his own business selling taiyaki. However, after opening the shop, he realized it wasn't that simple... After experiencing a downturn in the early stages of the business, he gradually improved his recipe and has now developed up to 15 sweet and savory flavors, which might even astonish the Japanese. In recent years, they have also introduced a cream puff that oozes filling, which has shown a surge in sales! The owner talks about the turning point in their evolution; it began when a former restaurant supervisor came to support them. After tasting their taiyaki, he felt it needed improvement and selflessly provided his recipe. Slowly, the owner adjusted the recipe based on this input, contributing to the good reputation they have today. Additionally, the owner's daughter particularly loves taiyaki, and the owner feels a strong sense of responsibility, saying, “I can't trust others to make it, so I decided to do it myself.” Deliciousness and health are the core values of Matsu Taiyaki.
