[Note] What is Takoyaki?
Takoyaki is one of Japan’s most iconic street foods, originating in Osaka. Made by cooking a wheat-flour batter with pieces of octopus, green onion, and other ingredients in a special molded griddle, each ball is perfectly round with a crispy exterior and a soft, molten center. They’re traditionally topped with a sweet-savory takoyaki sauce, mayonnaise, seaweed flakes, and bonito flakes, making them an essential Osaka food experience.
