    A while ago, our man in Osaka sent some super-secret videos of some takoyaki-making. I have decided to release them to the public. Press release to follow...

    Seriously, my friend Matt shot some footage of a cook at a takoyaki stall in Osaka. Here you can see the skill required to make these delectable little snacks. Actually, their size is deceptive: they fill you up quite quickly. If you have never tried takoyaki before, you are really missing out. Maybe I can coax Mariko into breaking out the takoyaki pan this weekend... Anyways, without further ado, I present the five sacred videos (.avi format):

    Takoyaki part one (7.8MB) Putting the pieces of tako (octopus) into the batter.

    Takoyaki part two (2.8MB) Putting ten-kasu (tempura crumbs) into the takoyaki.

    Takoyaki part three (8.4MB) Packing some of the finished takoyaki into containers/Turning the takoyaki over to ensure even cooking. (the difficult part, in my opinion) .

    Takoyaki part four (7.9 MB) More turning of the takoyaki.

    Takoyaki part five (3.9MB) And even more turning of the takoyaki. If you're not salivating by the time you reach this video, please check your pulse.

    This video was from a takoyaki party we had. It shows how to turn the takoyaki over in the pan using a little wooden skewer. Click on the image below to view the Quicktime movie (18.2MB). I added some music by Puffy so it is not too boring!
