It's called Taiyaki and it's the new fish stuffed with ice cream that lands in Madrid
We live in a parallel world of rainbows, mermaid toasts, unicorn milkshakes, sushirritos... We are children and faithful followers of every (crazy) trend that appears. Are millennials Y mainstream . What we needed to continue diving in a sea of hunters of everything new, has arrived.
The origin of the taiyakis dates back to the Land of the Rising Sun. East japanese sweet was born as a sweet bean cake (azuki beans) that was eaten for dessert, but soon the possibilities were seen for the little fish. From Asia he went to New York, where he began to fill himself with ice cream. And now it has arrived in Madrid.
Brothers Luis and Miguel Aliff and his partner Giuseppina Palladino are the creators of ** La Pecera **, a place where you can suffocate the high temperatures of this city without a port or sailors. After learning about the product in New York, they thought Madrid had possibilities. “We have made modifications to the original Japanese recipe to adapt it to the Spanish palate and taste. We wanted to do something more sophisticated with soft ice cream. Our taiyakis are from vanilla or chocolate and they have a surprise hidden in their belly, Nutella ”, comment these three entrepreneurs who have come together as a family at the head of the business.
They are beautiful, they are striking and the best, they are very good. The thing is easy, you choose the fish base you want (halfway between a waffle and pancakes), the type of ice cream and the toppings. They have two fixed ice creams vanilla and chocolate and another two that will rotate with new flavors **(now they are matcha and salty caramel) ** All of this conceived in the small kitchen adjacent to the premises.
Some examples are the Coco Fish with chocolate, toasted coconut, Corn Flakes and Nutella or the pigeon fish with vanilla, sweet popcorn, chocolate and salted caramel sauce. Although without a doubt, the king of the card is the unicorn fish : wafer, white chocolate, cheesecake, and (oh my god) cotton candy. For the more 'boring' or less daring, they also have the classic tubs and cones that decorate and season with the same zeal as a taiyaki.
The scales of La Pecera
Another plus is the local . "We wanted that although the experience in La Pecera was short, it would not stop being attractive" For this reason, they entrusted the interior design to the studio Mika Moka and the result is incredible. Walls in the form of fish scales for a 360 experience to be lived and enjoyed as 'fish in the water'.
