I ate this wonderful meal thanks to my Japanese friend from a city near Tokyo. It's called Takoyaki. It's a dish that is these balls of watery dough like material made with a special powder and cabbage. Tako means octopus in Japanese so a good thing to stick in the balls when they're frying is octopus pieces. But it can also be made with other stuff like cheese for example. The fryer thing pictured is a custom takoyaki fryer.

It was pretty good. There is a special takoyaki sauce and put some fish flakes and seaweed on there and you got a perfect meal!

That's when it was beginning to cook.

It's frying great.

All done! Yum!!
