This type of snack is called monaka: a traditional Japanese confectionery that comprises thin wafers made from mochi (rice cake) with filling inside them, which is usually a red bean paste. This product is reminiscent of taiyaki (bream-shaped pancake) in terms of appearance.
This taiyaki snack has a filling of soft and tasty bubble chocolate and it is sandwiched with a light and crispy fish-shaped wafer. It also contains calcium, so it is a good choice for growing children.
Although it is a very rare case, some sea bream wafers have a heart-shaped fin or scale, and the person who gets it is considered to be lucky. Test your fortune!

Kids love it. I got them as an occasional treat since they are both peanut and egg free. They are not really taiyaki so I haven't tried it myself, but the kids demolish them whenever they get one.

I bought these because they reminded me of a cookie I used to buy at the bakery when I was a child. I've been searching for those cookies for years, and this fish shaped wafer cookie reminds me so much of them. There is a whipped chocolate inside a light wafer shell. I will definitely order again.

Crispy wafer over aerated (yet solid) chocolate filling!
Great flavor, not overly sweet. Almost instantly melts in your mouth!
Very unsubstantial! I dare you to eat just one!
Great on its own! I imagine it would be a great snack to go with a cup of coffee.
