Now, let's examine how similar takoyaki sweets are to real takoyaki. I tried takoyaki sweets "caramel pudding" and real takoyaki on the same plate. Well, how about!

It may look similar to a split! ?? Mayonnaise, dried bonito flakes, and green laver are faithfully reproduced, and it may be almost the same at a glance ...?

■ Then, does it contain real octopus?
The reason why takoyaki is called takoyaki is that it contains takoyaki. Then, of course, the takoyaki sweets should also contain octopus! I broke the takoyaki sweets to check.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to contain octopus ... But honestly, I was relieved. If you have real octopus in sweet sweets, you will be shocked.
I will regain my mind and try to eat. The outside, which is the dough part of takoyaki, has a chewy texture. This seems to be made of mochi. Inside, there was something with a crunchy texture ... Is there an octopus in it? If you think about it, it looks like Nata de Coco! The commitment to make the caramel pudding look and feel like real takoyaki is interesting! It's awesome!
Takoyaki sweets with other flavors are also colorful and obviously not takoyaki, but mayonnaise, dried bonito flakes, and green laver are reproduced properly. The cream inside comes out from the mochi and spreads in your mouth, making you feel happy.

■ Recommended for souvenirs and gifts!
The taste of real takoyaki hasn't become sweet, but it's a delicious dessert that looks cute and tastes authentic, so why not give it a little souvenir or a stunning gift!
I put it in the boat. Bigger than the real thing!
