“Takoyaki, or Japanese Octopus Ball” which is a popular Japanese street food. Takoyaki are savory ball-shaped snacks made from a wheat flour-based batter and typically filled with minced or diced octopus, tempura scraps, pickled ginger, and green onions. The batter is poured into a special griddle with hemispherical molds, and the ingredients are mixed and cooked until the outer layer becomes crispy while the inside remains soft and gooey.
Once cooked, takoyaki are usually brushed with takoyaki sauce (similar to Worcestershire sauce but sweeter), mayonnaise, seaweed flakes (aonori), and bonito flakes (katsuobushi). The finished product is a delightful combination of textures and flavors, with the tender octopus providing a delicious contrast to the crispy exterior.
Takoyaki is a popular street food in Japan, and you’ll often find stalls or dedicated shops selling these savory treats at festivals, food markets, and in entertainment districts. It’s not only a tasty snack but also a fun and iconic part of Japanese street food culture.
