Osaka Souvenir

: Octopus Pattye Octopus Pattye was bought by a family member who went to Osaka. It is a "standard" product often found in souvenir stores as a gift from Osaka. I actually tried it! I tried a six-pack of octopus patties. The price was 300 yen (tax not included).

Takopatier

"Takopatier" is a new snack created by a patissier in pursuit of the traditional Osaka taste of takoyaki. The patissier's unique approach has created a new taste by adding walnuts and caramelized bonito flakes to the original takoyaki flavors of sauce, aonori (green laver), and dried bonito flakes. The takoyaki taste at first, and then turns into a sweet treat at the end. Individually wrapped type.



Looks like a combination of stick pie and takoyaki. There is also a hint of sauce. The impression is that it is more like a snack or rice cracker than a candy.


When you bite into it, the texture is pleasantly crispy and crunchy. Then, the junky tastes of sauce, dried bonito flakes, mayonnaise, and other takoyaki-like ingredients spread in your mouth. At the same time, you feel a sweetness. This is derived from the coarse soybean flour that is sprinkled on the surface of the takoyaki. It is sweet even though it is salty. ...... It is like a pie even though it is a takoyaki. ......


For a moment, it may seem confusing, but the richness and saltiness of the sauce and the sweetness of the coarse grains create a "sweet and salty" taste. You can enjoy a new taste sensation. The strong flavor makes it a good snack for alcoholic beverages! The aftertaste is so addictive that you can't help but keep on snacking on them.
