In case you are wondering what Mochi and Taiyaki are.

Mochi (Japanese 餅) is the Japanese variant of Chinese rice cake, which, like its Chinese origin, is made of glutinous rice, pounded into paste and molded into shape; however, unlike the Chinese variety, it is molded right after it is pounded, whereas the Chinese variety is baked once again after to solidify the mixture as well as sanitize it.

Taiyaki (鯛焼き) literally "baked sea bream," is a Japanese fish-shaped cake. The most common filling is red bean paste that is made from sweetened azuki beans. Other common fillings are custard, chocolate, and cheese. Some shops even sell taiyaki with okonomiyaki or a sausage inside.
Taiyaki is made using taiyaki or regular pancake or waffle batter. The batter is poured into a fish-shaped mold for each side. The filling is then put on one side and the mold is closed. It is then cooked on both sides until golden brown.
Taiyaki can be found all over Japan in a food court or especially at a matsuri (祭), or Japanese festival.
This is similar to obanyaki (大判焼き), which is a thick round cake also filled with sweet azuki bean paste or custard.
In Korea taiyaki is called bungeoppang.
