In the Asagaya neighborhood of Tokyo, dessert cafe Taiyaki Mania has come up with a quirky challenge for its customers. Rather than discouraging them from playing with their food, the cafe actually encourages it, even going so far as to issue a wave-riding challenge. Customers are invited to balance a taiyaki atop a swirl of gelato and snap a photo of their creations.
This challenge was accepted by Japanese-language reporter Yayoi Saginomiya, who opted for the Blue Ocean flavor of gelato. The cafe's unique approach to dessert-making is evident in its ingredients; Taiyaki Mania's taiyaki is made from a rice flour and tofu batter, and its anko contains beet sugar instead of refined white sugar.
