たこ焼き

Takoyaki are balls of batter with a piece of octopus inside, cooked in a round-holed iron plate and topped with sauce, mayonnaise and bonito flakes.

They are sold from stands, usually 6 to 10 to a tray.

Good to know

  • The inside is very hot. Break one open and wait a moment before eating.
