Food Pals Japanese Taiyaki Keychain

Meet our Joeydolls Taiyaki, a cheerful Food Pal inspired by one of Japan’s most loved treats. With its friendly smile and fish-shaped design, this little buddy celebrates everyday Japanese food culture, the kind kids might see at festivals, markets, or neighborhood shops.

Taiyaki is a traditional Japanese fish-shaped pastry, typically filled with sweet red bean paste or custard. It’s a familiar comfort food enjoyed across generations.

Designed by Joeydolls, an Asian mom-owned brand, Taiyaki helps children see Japanese culture represented through joyful, relatable details. Its removable keychain allows Taiyaki to shift from an on-the-go accessory to a playful learning companion, supporting storytelling, imaginative play, and gentle cultural conversations.

Our hope is that this Food Pal sparks curiosity, nurtures pride, and reminds kids that culture lives in everyday moments.
