WHICH WOULD YOU ORDER?
A taiyaki fish stuffed with 2 takoyaki balls?
Or a taiyaki fish stuffed with Sakura mochi?

Difficult choice, I know. I mean, on one hand, there's the battered octopus balls covered in a sweet and tangy sauce stuffed into another batter shaped like a fish. On the other, there's the strawberry mochi ball option. How cruel of me to make you choose! Takoyaki dinner with some fruity mochi for dessert.



SPEAKING OF TAKO

Octopi are a big deal here. Besides being a delicious and chewy source of protein, they're also cute as can be. They're even used in advertising for not only seafood restaurants, but also WATER!!!!
So fresh that it's like a homecoming for Tako-san.




GARI GARI KUN Popsicles

The ice cream fridge in the convenience stores is 10 times as exciting as when the ice-cream man rounded the corner of your childhood home. First of all, these desserts are SEASONAL, so things are always changing. This particular GARIGARI kun flavor is Strawberry Sour. The ice is very flaky and melts slowly on the stick, but quickly in your mouth. Yum Yum. Comes in cola, pear, strawberry sour, orange and blue flavor.
