Takoyaki: Japan’s Irresistible Octopus Balls



I apologize for the confusion. Here’s the information about takoyaki in English:

Takoyaki is a traditional Japanese street food that has gained popularity both in Japan and abroad. As the name suggests, takoyaki combines “tako” (octopus) and “yaki” (grilled) to create a delicious dish. It is made by pouring a batter made of wheat flour into a special takoyaki pan, which has round molds, and then adding octopus and other ingredients.

Takoyaki originated in Osaka, Japan, and it is still widely enjoyed throughout the country. While octopus and tenkasu (crispy bits of deep-fried batter) are the common ingredients used in takoyaki, variations can be found depending on the region. The batter and fillings are cooked together, creating a crispy outer layer and a soft and chewy inside.

To make takoyaki, a specialized takoyaki grill is used, which has multiple round cavities. The batter is poured into these cavities, and the ingredients are added before the balls are cooked to perfection. Takoyaki is typically served with takoyaki sauce, mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of aonori (dried seaweed powder). Some people also like to add yuzu pepper or bonito flakes for extra flavor.

Takoyaki can be found not only at street stalls but also in izakayas (Japanese pubs), restaurants, supermarkets, and convenience stores in Japan. It can also be made at home using a takoyaki pan. Outside of Japan, takoyaki is popular and can be found in Japanese restaurants or food trucks. It has become a symbol of Japanese cuisine and is widely recognized as a part of Japanese culture.

    Hoping Hulkamaniacs all over the world will get to try Takoyaki!
    The flavor is like a Hulk Hogan leg drop right to your taste buds…and having a drink like a Dr. Pepper is a finishing move for the palate. A 3-count pin for the win!

    Good morning, Misa. There are some japanese restaurants in Madrid where you can eat takoyaki, but I think the flavor and taste of takoyaki at the streets of Osaka must be better. Arigato and kisses from Spain ❤🇪🇸!

    Hello Misa-chan.
    Beautiful friend.
    Thank you for another wonderful vídeo. Very Nice.
    No dia 18 de junho de 1908 os primeiros imigrantes japoneses desembarcaram no Brasil. Hoje faz 115 anos que os imigrantes japoneses chegaram.
    Aqui em Brasília e em outras cidades com colônia japonesa, houve festas com a cultura e comida típica.
    Aqui se gosta muito da culinária japonesa.
    Misa-chan, educada, simpática, gentil, adorável, atenciosa, fofa demais e muito linda.
    👏🇯🇵⛩️🌸🌻🍒💖💐💓🇧🇷
    Assim posso te conhecer melhor e conhecer mais o Japão.
    Abraços com muito carinho. Paulo , Brasília, Brasil 🇧🇷
