Takoyaki is a ball shaped snack made with a flour batter and typically filled with minced octopus, green onions, and pickled ginger. It is usually served with mayonnaise and sprinkled with various toppings like green onion, dried seaweed, or dried bonito (dried & smoked tuna flakes).
Since it is street food, we had to eat it while standing….it was fresh out of the hot cooking pan…the balls are soft with chewy squid inside..the mayonnaise and green onion made it extra tasty… a very yummy snack.
