I'm going to be honest, I'm not a big red bean eater. For the longest time, I couldn't even stomach it. I didn't like the texture and I just don't like any type of beans (except for green beans). I went to a local small asian market one day cause I was bored. In the freezer, this actually caught my eyes. I always see Taiyaki very often when I use to watch anime. Since I was very curious to what it would taste like, I ended up buying it. It was cheap and it came in a pack of 5. When I got back to the dorms, I heated this up for two minutes in the microwave like what the directions had said. I let it cool for about minute or two. When it was finally ready to eat, I finally took the first bite. The first bite wasn't so great, but after finishing it, I couldn't help but want some more. It tasted good. I was just bias about beans. After giving this a chance, I think I'll be trying out more of red bean dishes from now on.

I eat this for breakfast everyday when I have it available. I usually eat with cold green tea if I'm eating it at work . If I'm not at work, I eat it with hot green tea. Green tea really compliments the flavor.
