Off to Nara today for a visit to Ulala's family grave and then some wandering through the city. It's going to be COLD in Nara. So we started our day with a German potato tai-yaki from a street vendor near Nipponbashi. Delicious! Mashed German potato with cream and bacon and just a little chili spice, served nice and hot. Perfect snack on a cold winter morning.
They're called "tai-yaki" because of their shape. "Tai" is the fish name (i believe in English it is Sea Bream) but the snack itself contains no fish. They're typically stuffed with sweet red bean paste (called "anko") and sometimes other things - like German potatoes and bacon! Yum!
