Taiyaki (鯛焼き, lit. 'baked sea bream') is a Japanese fish-shaped cake. It imitates the shape of the tai (Japanese red seabream), which it is named after. The most common filling is red bean paste that is made from sweetened azuki beans. Other common fillings may be custard, chocolate, cheese, or sweet potato. Some shops even sell taiyaki with okonomiyaki, gyoza filling, or a sausage inside. Smaller, differently shaped versions (called kingyoyaki (金魚焼き, literally) baked goldfish) are also available and often sold in bags of 5,10, or more.
In South Korea, Taiyaki are known as bungeo-ppang. Taiyaki are similar to imagawayaki, which are thick round cakes also filled with sweet azuki bean paste or custard.

Taiyaki is made using regular pancake or waffle batter. The batter is poured into a fish-shaped mold for each side. The filling is then put on one side and the mold is closed. It is then cooked on both sides until golden brown.
History
Taiyaki is believed to have originated in Tokyo during the Meiji era. It is now popular all over Japan.
Taiyaki were brought to Korea as bungeo-ppang during the Occupation of Korea.
