5. Taiyaki origin store

Before, I talked about how many kind of Taiyaki.

Finally I write about “Taiyaki real origin store”. I was gathered documentation this week and a little while ago.

Taiyaki origin store is “Naniyaya” in Tokyo. This theory is most famous. However, this theory said to be suspicious recently. It is said that Taiyaki invented by Seijiro Kanbe in 1909. So Taiyaki had on the 100^th anniversary. Then why is “origin store is Naniyawa” theory spread around Japan. And how is real origin store?

I want to talk about those two main points this time.

First, I write about why is “origin store is Naniyawa” theory spread around Japan.

This theory caused of one book. This book’s name is “Social situation and diet history”. This book published in 1997.

“ Mr.Kanbe invented Taiyaki. He sold Taiyaki pull the rear car and made it in 1909. Naniwaya established this time. One Taiyaki price was one penny at that time.”

At first sight, we don’t feel sense of discomfort. But, we would understand only this sentence one thing. It is this book’s writer Hidetoshi Kato fall to verification about this matter of Taiyaki birth. So, rear car didn’t exist in 1909. Real car invented by Toraichi Mochizuki in 1921. Perhaps, Mr. Kato wanted to say about rear car’s origin Daihachi-car. However, this excuse is fall flat. If Mr.Kanbe pulled the rear car in 1909, it will be that he was an inventor of rear car. In other words, Mr. Kato wrote this sentence no verified. Incidentally coverage destination is Morikazu Kanbe. He is Seijiro kanbe’s son.

In addition, there is also this book published time concern with hit of one song. This song is “oyoge-Taiyakikun”. This song hit caused interesting for Taiyaki birth. This book’s sentence might prepare for therefore. “oyoge-Taiyakikun” sold in 1976. We had better look at the literature ago in 1976.

Naniwaya

Next, I want to write about “how is real origin store?”

The most famous theory another Naniwaya is Hinodeya. However, this store closed about 10 years before. Web page of Tsu tourism association write about “Taiyaki born in Tsu. It was provided by Hinodeya. This store’s Taiyaki opened in department store at that time.

Hinodeya pacage

And they talked about Taiyaki origin trace back in 1600’s. The first Hinodeya existed in this era. However didn’t write close era. By the way, 1660’s is I thought that first owner Takatora Todo death year.

And I found one thing. I said definitely.

Taiyaki exist in 1906. It was published in the newspaper article in 1911. A content of an article was common people die in good poisoning. The cause was Taiyaki. Taiyaki store’s master name is Tomokichi Yamaguchi. He runs this store from five years ago. Namely, Taiyaki exist in 1906. In regard to Mr.Kato’s sentence Taiyaki invented in 1909. There is more. This newspaper didn’t annotate for Taiyaki. We read from this point. Taiyaki already spread common people life in 1906. Because, Naniwaya theory is contradict.

After all, we didn’t say clearly “this store is Taiyaki origin store”. This problem is very difficult.

“Which is real Taiyaki origin store?”

It might be fun to try to imagine.

Thank you for reading!
