Panda Yaki Cakes - Panda Taiyaki?

I guess these are a variation of the Taiyaki, but panda shaped instead of fish shaped.  I've seen similar custard filled ones in the shape of bears.

They were hot and delicious.  Our children love Anpan so the taste and texture of these treats were not foreign to them.

The cool thing was that the machine that makes the cakes is located in the store and is visible through the windows of the shop.
