Taiyaki

 Prettily made dessert, but looks and sounds better than it is.  I tried the Straight Outta Japan -- matcha and black sesame swirl with wafer and mochi toppings and red bean filling.  

The ice cream texture was surprisingly creamy, but the taste was relatively weak/bland.  There are other places with better green tea and black sesame flavored ice cream, soft serve, or snow ice.

The taiyaki itself was could've been crispier on the outside; it was a bit on the cakey side for me.

Finally, I love red bean and was wondering the whole time where the red bean filling was.  There's only a small spoonful at the very bottom for your very last bite, after all the ice cream is gone.  I would've appreciated more red bean spread throughout the taiyaki.

Overall not bad, but does not live up to the hype.
