While in Namba, Osaka, I stopped by Takoyaki Doraku Wanaka, Sennichimae Main Store and got an order of takoyaki to go. It was still piping hot when I received it, and the aroma kept drifting out, making me want to hurry back and try it!
The outside of the takoyaki had a nice aroma, while the inside was soft and tender. Eating it with the sauce and bonito flakes gave it a real Osaka flavor. Even though I took it back to eat, it still tasted very good, and every piece was satisfying.
You have to eat takoyaki when you come to Osaka! Takoyaki originated in Osaka and gradually became one of the city's most iconic foods for ordinary people. A small piece of octopus is wrapped in piping-hot batter, slightly crisp on the outside and soft inside, then topped with a savory sauce and Japanese mayonnaise and sprinkled with aonori and bonito flakes. It's wonderfully fragrant. Each little ball may look simple, but everything from the batter ratio to the heat requires skill!
