Whats the name of the japanese fried squid balls?

Question

I saw them on tv and they look pretty good and i cant fin them at any japanese restaurants where i live. can anybody please tell me the name of them?

Answer 1

Its tako-yaki & in my country, there are 3 varieties, octopus, chicken ham & prawn. My fav will be the chicken ham cos the octopus ones usually have a pungent taste.

Answer 2

The dish is called takoyaki, ("tako"= octopus and "yaki"= fried) and since it's more of a street food dish, you should try going to a Japanese community in your area and there might be a stand selling it someplace. (I live in Los Angeles and there's a popular takoyaki stand in Little Tokyo). Unfortunately, there aren't any takoyaki restaurants in America like the ones in Japan where you can cook it yourself.

Answer 3

takoyaki maybe?

Answer 4

Tako Yaki

I had them whilst in japan

they are like octupus in a ball
