OH MY GOD Did you know that, although there's octopus inside

That's common sense.

I really want to eat takoyaki, despite the fact that I don't like octopus

I blame all the Japanese media I've been consuming

>>8440914

its nice

>>8440934
what's it taste like?

>>8440937
seconding this

I've always wanted to try it from watching animes

>>8440937
>>8440943
like a ball of fried dough, with some octopus inside

>>8440952
is it more octopus than dough or the other way around?

>>8440955
about equal

>>8440928
You could just eat okonomiyaki instead, it has basically all the same ingredients but with cabbage instead of octopus (and it's different shape but that doesn't really matter)

>>8440987
Okonomiyaki has whatever the fuck you want in it, but its usually pork or squid, but a lot menus have octopus as an option

>>8440934
not the fastest i've seen but he's pretty gud
>>8440937
like most Japanese food pretty bland with a focus on the texture. you mostly just taste the sauce and mayo, the octopus chunk doesnt really do much either except be a good way to get rid of leftover octopus without really having to taste it.

traditional takoyaki aside though, a lot of takoyaki places in large will have a few variants and when people have a "takoyaki party" at their house all hell breaks loose.

>curry chicken cheese-yaki
>bacon egg-yaki
just dont put tomatoes in them or you'll melt your face off.

For the record takoyaki machines are about $10 in Japan, so it's worth ordering one online.

This. Okonomiyaki is just Japanese version of Bubble n Squeak. Okonomi means "anything you like" and yaki means fried.

>>8442445
oh and used to sometimes put hot sauce inside them and dip it in cheese fondue when drunk

Had okonomiyaki for the first time. Outstanding. Wish I was drunk because i know it would have ascended to elder god tier. Also oddly healthy despite its look. I figured it would be 2k+ but it ended up being sub 600

>>8442522
Yea that calorie counter is off. The mayo and sauce are a good number of calories alone

>Not having a massive mug of Kirin whilst eating your Okonomiyaki

Almost every meal I had in Japan had a big frosty beer beside it.
