Pickled Ginger (beni Shoga)

Takoyaki is a popular Japanese street food consisting of ball-shaped savory snacks filled with diced octopus, tempura scraps, pickled ginger, and green onion. It is crispy on the outside and soft inside, often topped with takoyaki sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes. This dish is emblematic of Osaka's vibrant street food culture and social eating traditions.
