How daring are you?
..to eat Takoyaki?
Believe it or not, these contain diced baby octopus coated in a specially prepared batter.
They immediately caught my eye when I took my son to town for a stroll and decided to have lunch at this small fastfood Teppanyaki eatery. I just had to tell my husband about it. And what do you know, he was excitedly fond of it too! We shared each other’s good old memories of our last helping of Takoyaki balls. I remember enjoying this tasty Japanese snack back in high school. Whenever the school fair is on, I look forward to finding the only food stall that sells them. I would eat heaps, like there’s no tomorrow!
Takoyaki is a great quick and tasty street food in Japan and I too enjoy them. While it sounds a little daring, the taste of the taco is quite mild and chewy wouldn’t you agree?
It sure is, Shane. I thought the texture would be firm inside, like the ready-to-fry fish/squid balls. I didn’t expect the Takoyaki to be so gooey, you’ll think it’s undercooked!
i would agree with the thought it’s chewy…i guess that’s one unique thing about this dish.
