Bringing taiyaki from Japan to US.

[SairentoGekido]

Does anyone know if it is possible to have taiyaki sent from Japan to U.S and still be fresh when it gets here?

Hmm try making it in the US instead? Most will probably be frozen if packaged... Also i think theres something that doesnt allow the importing of food items? Or well some food items anyway... not sure which... I suppose recreating the takoyaki probably wouldnt taste quite the same though...

Yes, exactly. Thats why i wouldnt want to make it myself. Thanks for the info though.

Cant just eat your fill in japan? xD Or is it that you wanted to share with someone? There might be japanese restaurant which have takoyaki but that would be somewhat americanized so not sure if it would be the same... Anyhow im not exactly sure how the rules are for importing food so there might be a chance that takoyaki is ok? Though i sort of wonder how youre going to get it through xD There are various ways to get food through without the dogs sniffing it out but theyre somewhat of a pain to do? And not sure if you would like the takoyaki that much after xD

Yeah, i was hoping to share some with my sisters. I think ill try that, if not, ill just see if there is any websites online that i can order genuine (fresh) taiyaki to the US.
