Takoyaki

Takoyaki is a spherical snack made of flour and filled with octopus, baked in a takoyakiki pan. The main ingredient of the filling is minced or diced octopus (or completely filled with cheese), Takoyaki can be filled with other things and sprinkled with some spices as well as soaked with sauce depending on the recipe which may be different.

Takoyaki is a dish that has been around since 1953 and is a symbol of the Japanese city of Osaka. Here, people also set up a museum about the formation and development of this type of cake. The hotness of this cake has never cooled down. Partly because street food originates from Japan, partly because it is street food but is made from seafood with extremely strange and attractive spices that are not only easy to eat but also very delicious.

Takoyaki is attractive for its beauty taste and aroma. The beautiful thing here is that the cake is round and has an extremely attractive golden brown color. When you eat, you will taste the crispy taste of the dough, then the chewy taste of the octopus, and finally the spicy, salty, and slightly sweet taste, just like a student's favorite snack.
