Co-founder Jimmy Chen confirmed with Boston.com that Taiyaki is aiming for an April opening. “Boston is a tremendous city full of lively college students, rich history, and was always on our radar,” Chen wrote in an email to Boston.com. “Being presented the opportunity to work with a great company like WS [Development] and being around their passion and vision for the Seaport area in Boston was also extremely attractive for us as well. We are tremendously excited for this next venture and cannot wait to share our treasure with the Boston community.”
Taiyaki features soft serve flavors like matcha, black sesame, vanilla, and chocolate, and Chen said that, although they are in the early stages of planning, the menu in Boston will be similar to other Taiyaki shops. “We will definitely have the unicorn taiyaki as well as the unicorn floats,” he said, referring to a couple of the shop’s most popular orders. “For the other flavors, we are still in the brainstorming stage.”
There are a handful of ice cream and tea shops around Boston that already serve some version of taiyaki, including TeaMoji and Yotopia. But Taiyaki has been a social media powerhouse, implementing Instagram-friendly concepts from the beginning. Case in point: Its fish-shaped cones have become one of the most recognizable taiyaki variations in the country.
And just like us, we hope you're ready to devour the details of this Instagram-worthy sweet treat this spring!
I love this place in particular, it always has the best and impressive events every year. The event locations have the perfect location if you are looking to host the event of a lifetime. The main-level features a large comfortable space.
