Wednesday, Satoshi had the day off.

It was a sunny day, so we did a lot of walking during the day then in the late afternoon I had an appointment.

After my appointment, we met for dinner.

Dinner was great and we were quite full, but upon passing the Hankyu department store, we saw a long line.

I thought it was kinda weird to see the line because they were approaching closing time.

So, we went to check out what the line was for and found this.

Amane's hane-tsuki taiyaki..168 yen (about US$1.68). Hane-tsuki literally means "with wings". This taiyaki has crunchy surroundings.

I think it is about 6 inches long. (Satoshi put his finger next to it for comparison.)

Amane is the name of a shop in Kichijoji, Tokyo. They are apparently in Osaka for a week to introduce their taiyaki to Osaka.

We bought one to share and ate it right outside of the store.

I think the "wings" were a bit too overdone for my liking, probably because it was the end of the day??

When you bite into it the sweet bean paste oozes out, no skimping here.

Hot off the presses this was a great treat.
