Takoyaki - Japan - Image Index A person preparing to cook takoyaki, a traditional Japanese street food consisting of battered and deep-fried balls filled with octopus. The individual is carefully placing the takoyaki onto a metal grill or griddle, which is placed over an open flame. The grill has a series of small indentations, each containing one or two pieces of takoyaki. The person's hand is holding a pair of chopsticks, and their arm is extended to place the next piece of takoyaki onto the grill. In the background, there are other grilled items, including what appears to be another batch of takoyaki in the process of being cooked. The overall atmosphere suggests that this is taking place at an outdoor food stall or market, where vendors often cook and serve these types of street foods to passersby.
