A delicious treat that will definitely be a repeat purchase! Great as a gift! Heavy and chewy rice flour taiyaki

Hello! I'm Momo, the manager of "Fukuoka Memo (Instagram)," a website where families can enjoy Fukuoka to the fullest!

This time we would like to introduce you to a somewhat unusual taiyaki shop.

Freshly baked and piping hot! A takeaway specialty store that sells taiyaki made from 100% rice flour, "Koka Rice Flour Taiyaki Nakama Store" (Nakama City)

Koga Rice Flour Taiyaki Nakama Store opened in October 2024 at Nakama City Challenge Shop Yume Marche, located just over a 10-minute walk from JR Nakama Station and next to Nakama Harmony Hall.

This popular restaurant has branches all over Japan, including Koga (Shiga Prefecture), but the Nakama branch is the only one in Fukuoka at present. There is free parking, so it is convenient to go by car.

As the sign says, this is a take-out specialty store where you can enjoy taiyaki made with 100% domestic rice flour.

This time, we were given a special tour of the kitchen, and it was amazing how packed it was! These taiyaki are stuffed with ingredients from head to tail, making them very filling.

There are 9 types of fillings in total. There are 7 standard types: "Tsubuan" (200 yen), "Smooth Bean Paste" (220 yen), "Chocolate" (230 yen), "Custard Cream" (230 yen), "Sausage" (250 yen), "Mentaiko Cheese Mochi" (300 yen), and "Unglazed" (140 yen). There are also 2 limited-time types, which when I visited were "Matcha Taiyaki" (230 yen, until around March 20th) and "Sweet Potato" (230 yen, until the end of April). It seems that "Sakura An" will be available for a limited time in the spring soon.

By the way, the "unglazed" taiyaki has no filling, so even small children can enjoy making them. We also recommend adding your own favorite ingredients to create your own unique taiyaki!

They cook it after you order, so you can enjoy it while it's still hot. It takes about 5 minutes to cook.

Also recommended as a gift! Specially made "Rice Flour Taiyaki"

If you take a look at the finished taiyaki, you'll notice that it looks different from the regular taiyaki you're familiar with.

Did you notice?

Actually, I have a sword and a shuriken.

It originated in Koka city, famous for ninjas, so it features swords and shuriken. So cute!

They also had boxes (100 yen) available that were perfect for taking home as souvenirs.

From classics to limited-time items, let's try them out!

I tried a variety of taiyaki, from the standard to the limited edition varieties, and each one had the chewy texture you'd expect from rice flour and was heavy and satisfying to eat.

Let's start with the dessert type, Taiyaki!

The photo below shows, from top to bottom, the limited-edition "Sweet Potato" (230 yen), the standard "Red Bean Paste" (200 yen), and the limited-edition "Matcha Taiyaki" (230 yen). The "Red Bean Paste" was not too sweet and moist, and it was delicious enough to see why it was so popular.

The photo below shows, from top to bottom, "Chocolate" (230 yen) and "Custard Cream" (230 yen), a rich, full-bodied flavor that fills your mouth.

The savory taiyaki are also unique and delicious!

In the photo below, the top is "Mentaiko Cheese Mochi" (300 yen) and the bottom is "Sausage" (250 yen).

It's perfect for a snack or light meal. If it gets cold after you take it out, you can warm it up in the microwave and toast it in the toaster to recreate the crispness of a freshly baked bun.

All the flavors are so good that you'll want to buy them every time you're in the area. I'll definitely be buying these again!

The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming as it is a family run business.

Even while we were taking special photos at the store, customers kept coming in, which showed us just how popular it is. Apparently there are days when there are long queues!

If you visit Nakama City, please be sure to visit. (Text by Momo)
