My friend who knows me very well got me this Japanese sweets calendar and it usually stays in my office so I can glance at it and dream of sweets. I know I’ve had taiyaki (or taimochi) a couple times but I couldn’t help closing out January with its monthly featured snack. This is another montai・モンタイ from Ropponpon・ろっぽんぽん nearby. It’s not really a traditional one, the dough is made of cinnamon and mochi flour, so it is super chewy and soft and delicious.
