For anyone who doesn't know, takoyaki are savory snack made of a batter with a little piece of octopus inside and topped with mayonnaise, takoyaki sauce, and bonito flakes.
I got mine in London over the winter while i was studying abroad. There's a huge shop called the Japan Centre in the Piccadilly Circus area. The shop itself carries a wide range of Japanese foods, but outside they had vendors selling hot foods.
I had gone into the shop while in the area and when I saw they had Takoyaki outside, I knew I had to get some.
Honestly, i was a little nervous. Before this, I had never had octopus in anything. But, i figured what the hell.
I'm really glad I tried it though because it was DELICIOUS!(☆▽☆) The octopus doesn't have a strong flavor and the batter is soft and tasty. It's very hard to describe as I've never tried anything like it!
If you get the opportunity to try, you absolutely should!
