In Korean, bung'eo (붕어) means Carassius, a kind of fish, and ppang (빵) means bread.

Bungeoppang (lit. “crucian carp cake/bread”) is the Korean name of Taiyaki, which was first baked by a sweet shop Naniwaya in Azabu, Tokyo, Japan, in 1909.

Bungeoppangs are made using an appliance similar to a waffle iron. The batter is poured into a fish-shaped mold, red bean paste is added, then more batter to encase the red bean paste. The mold is then closed, and roasted.

Bungeoppang is sold as a snack by open-air food vendors throughout Korea during winter.   
There are also bungeoppang-shaped waffles filled with ice cream and pat (sweetened and boiled red beans or azuki beans).
