Takoyaki is
the famous first food in Japan, and also the most important soul food for the
people in Osaka. On this visiting to Osaka, I found the most delicious Takoyaki
in Osaka.
Takoyaki is
the ball like pancake including the chopped octopus, pickled ginger, Agetama (あげ玉 flied
flower) and Japanese reek. In Osaka, that is a rumour, almost all family or
house has one Takoyaki maker in their home. People come from or live in Osaka
has some important opinion to make Takoyaki for each. The method to cook
Takoyaki is very simple but might be very difficult to make some delicious
ones. And there are some favourite styles for Japanese or the Osaka as the
crispy or soft outside, the octopus size or the Takoyaki base taste.
The staffs made Takoyaki with beautiful and speedy movement.
The
Takoyaki in Hanadako was very lovely. The soft skin like mashumaro, the large
chopped octopus, soft and creamy inclusion and classical Wooster source and
scattered dried tuna are nicely balanced and harmonized in our mouth. The soft
skin was limited till the strength we can hold with chopsticks. The texture of
the skin was very nice, very small bubbles were including in the dough and made very
soft and shape the beautiful ball on the tray. The chopped octopuses are
de-frozen but the size is one of the important parts in Takoyaki for the Osaka.
You can drink a cup of beer and dose takoyaki.
Left is normal takoyaki, Right is Negi(ネギ spring onion)
This
Hanadako, Takoyaki stand is located in the food court area near Osaka Station. You will
find very long queue in front of the stand. There are a lot of local food
stands, small restaurants or bars in this food court, named
Shin-Umeda-Shokudo-gai(新梅田食道街). This local area was crowded with businessmen,
tourist or local people in all day. The food court is located under the railway
guard and in front of the Midosuji gate at the Osaka station.
The staffs
are professional in making Takoyaki. They will not be able to speak English.
