Tampa Bay's Japanese dessert destination
Tampa Bay's home for Japanese desserts — soufflé pancakes, golden taiyaki, towering bingsu, and small-batch soft serve, all made fresh to order.
Made fresh when you order
Everything at **Kichi Taiyaki** is made to order using quality ingredients — no shortcuts, no sitting under a lamp. Your food is fresh every single time.
Soufflé pancakes
Impossibly light, jiggly Japanese-style pancakes — nothing like what you'd find at a regular brunch spot. Try the ube, the mango, or the classic with strawberries.
Something for every craving

Our Brandon Story
Kichi Taiyaki started in Brandon with one belief: Tampa Bay deserved real Japanese desserts, made fresh and done right.
