Meiji Takoyaki Shop Gummy


Takoyaki or breaded octopus conveniently shaped into small bite sized spheres, is a popular food item originating from Osaka. A rounded and smaller version of Okonomiyaki (a special dish of a breaded batter type consistency that's filled with meat and vegetables and flattened into a pancake shape), it is often found in restaurants that specialize in grilling food (like Yakitori or chicken kabobs) throughout Japan. This is a wacky snack actually allows you to make your own gummy filled Takoyaki treat. Step by step picture guides show you how to make this snack which basically are to 1) grab the contents in this bag and cold water, 2) mix the cold water with the jelly powder (red bag) in the separate cup provided in this package, 3) fill the tray half way, 4) drop the octopus shaped gummy inside, 5) fill the tray all the way and wait to harden, 6) use the spoons to pull out the snack and enjoy by pouring delicious carmel sauce (white bag) and toppings (green bag). So kakkoo ii that even grown adults will want to try this out.
