I got some of the best takoyaki from a streetside booth that was setup, in Kawasaki, It really was good, anyways good luck on finding a recipe, I am sure with all the great cooks here on JREF you should get a reply.
hi everyone.. i'm from singapore. 18 this year. I thought of setting up a business selling takoyaki. Do you guys have any suggestion on where to buy takoyaki grill set? I only manage to find one. But I want to compare.. And do u guys have any good recipes for takoyaki too?
I went to a japanese Grocery store to day to look for ingredients to ATTEMPT to make takoyaki, and lo and behold, they had some frozen takoyaki in the "special stock" freezer. Pop 'em in the microwave for a minute and chow down! :gohan:
The lady running the store was surprised that I asked about making takoyaki, and was tickled at my reaction (I was truely surprised and voiced such), and she asked me if I had had them before. When I said yes, she asked if I had been to Japan. That started an interesting conversation to say the least. After explaining as best she could how to prepare them, and as she was ringing up my groceries, she tossed in a couple boxes of Strawberry Pocky and a Ghana Black Chocolate bar and said "You have." It'd be nice if she had a good-looking daughter!
Hand-grilled in iron molds by cooks behind a large display window, the dumplings are made from wheat flour paste mixed with fish stock, spring onions and boiled octopus chunks, and drizzled with a sweet sauce, dried bonito flakes and seaweed.

I just bought that the other day! Only with mine there isn't anything on it, it's just plain takoyaki. I guess it's a setback if you decide to freeze them.
Fresh takoyaki is always the best!
