Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Grinding katsuobushi finely and adding it directly to the batter gives a deep umami flavor without having to make a separate broth.
  • Fold the batter in half when the inside is still slightly undercooked so the outside and inside adhere naturally.
  • Instead of octopus, you can use chopped squid or shrimp for a delicious variation.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to easily make takoyaki in a frying pan without a special takoyaki pan.
  • Those who want to easily recreate street food flavors at home.
  • Those who enjoy the savory and salty harmony of octopus and katsuobushi.
