Japanese takoyaki is a popular street food originating from Osaka, Japan. These delicious, round snacks are made from a batter of flour, eggs, and dashi, which is a Japanese soup stock. The batter is cooked in a special molded pan, and small pieces of octopus are added to each ball, along with green onions, tempura scraps, and pickled ginger. Once cooked, takoyaki is typically brushed with a savory takoyaki sauce and topped with bonito flakes, seaweed, and a drizzle of mayonnaise. They are served hot and are often enjoyed at festivals or as a tasty snack on the go.
