Easy at home Japanese Takoyaki recipe


Easy Japanese Takoyaki Recipe

If you’re a foodie and you’ve eaten in a lot of Japanese restaurants you definitely will have tried these Octopus Takoyaki balls.


While you can make the takoyaki balls from scratch, we don’t think it’s worth it unless you’re making large quantities and quite regularly.


To make the balls from scratch you need to cook the octopus, make the batter, cook it using a special single purpose pan and it can be quite messy.

You can buy the frozen takoyaki balls from Oriental/ Japanese supermarkets, which you reheat either microwaving deep frying or popping them into the air fryer.
