Takoyaki Kukuru (Osaka, JAPAN) ★★★☆☆

We were hanging out at Dotonbori (道頓堀) before our day trip to Kobe and attempting to fight off the temptation of all these street foods.



OK, finally I gave up.....

Since Takoyaki Kukuru has just opened for business, I decided to dip into action here for some delicious octopus balls. This ball-shaped snack, made with a wheat flour-based batter and cooked in a special takoyaki pan, is argualy one of the most popular Japanese snacks.

At Takoyaki Kukuru, they are serving different varieties of takoyaki. 



There's the "regular" deep fried one with mayonnaise and Takoyaki sauce.



The dipping takoyaki is also one of the most sought-after choice around here. This comes with a simple broth.



Between the two, I definitely prefer the regular one because of that crispy shell.
