Takoyaki (たこ焼き, lit. „grilled octopus“) are a popular kind of street food which you come across around nearly every corner in large Japanese cities, especially in the Kansai region (Ōsaka, Kyōto, …).
These came from the Tenjinbashi-suji in Ōsaka.
Edit: correct translation
I’m blessed enough to live nearby a place that makes takoyaki here in the states, so I’ve had quite a few! Also, I agree with what others say that I feel bad eating an intelligent creature. Maybe one day my morals will win out over my stomach.
