TAKOYAKI Thursday!
Octopus ball or what you call TAKOYAKI in Japanese term is one of many popular dumplings
here in Japan. TAKO (たこ) = means Octopus while YAKI (やき) = means to grill or to bake. That is how
takoyaki is made of. While posting this blog entry I ate already 10 dumplings and there
are 2 more left... anyone care to join me??? :P
I took a shot of it. The ingredients are: chopped boiled octopus, benishoga (pickled ginger), chopped negi (scallions), tenkasu (rice crispies). While the batter or toppings are: powdered katsuo-bushi (shaved dried bonito) and konbu (kelp). Plus a takoyaki sauce and mayonaise.
Some students here in Japan, especially the male high school students hangs out in takoyaki shops after school hours.
And talking about school hours, I'm back to school! I started my class course in KUMON just
today. The japanese language class I attend to is from 7:00pm to 9:00pm (every Mon & Thu)
kinda late, so when I came home tonight nothing for diner, so what did I have?! the picture
above. ^_^
Happy eating!!!
