The business says it plans to open up operations in Miami, Florida. 

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of our shop here in Rhode Island. Your support from our opening during COVID through these unprecedented times has been incredible, and we are eternally grateful. While this chapter is ending, we believe it’s time to take a leap of faith and start anew in Miami.

We are deeply saddened to leave, but we know this is the right decision. If you ever find yourselves in Miami, please stop by and say hello. More info on where soon! We would love to see your smiling faces again!

Our last day of operation in Rhode Island will be September 15th. Thank you for being a part of our journey. We are deeply saddened to say goodbye, but sometimes, you need to know when it’s time to walk away. We love you and you will always have a special place in our hearts. 

Helado Taiyaki said it will be open Wednesdays through Sundays between 2 and 10 PM until September 15.
