Food Porn Eats - Takoyaki Octopus Balls

Walking through the food stalls at the Asakusa Sensoji Shrine during our Contiki Japan Unrivalled Tour of Japan, Khalil drools over these fresh Takoyaki Octopus Balls.

A ball shaped Japanese snack, Takoyaki is made of a wheat flour based batter and cooked in a special takoyaki pan. Generally filled with minced or diced octopus, tempura scraps, pickled ginger, and green onion. It is then brushed with takoyaki sauce, similar to Worcestershire sauce, and mayonnaise. The takoyaki is then topped with shavings of dried bonito.

Huge thanks to Contiki for letting us tag along on their Japan Unrivalled Tour!
