The Secret to Deliciousness

The batter is a blend of dashi and milk, sprinkled with octopus, red ginger, and small shrimp. Then, plenty of tempura scraps are added, and here comes the speed!! To achieve a crispy texture, the batter is swirled around in an artistic technique that could be called craftsmanship, wrapping the tempura scraps in the batter. Then, quickly and frequently flipping it, the surface of the batter is evenly seared on a copper plate with good heat conduction. And after 10 minutes... the finished product is crispy on the outside & slightly creamy on the inside. The Takoyaki, embodying the spirit of "one ball, one soul" (ikkkyu ikkon), is carefully cooked one by one.
