The red and white checkered facade of Kogaryu Takoyaki stands out in the heart of Amerikamura. This shop began in nineteen seventy-six, when founder Norio Tanaka introduced the idea of topping takoyaki with mayonnaise. He mixed the creamy sauce with curry powder and apple to create his signature recipe, a departure from the simple soy glaze favored by his neighbors. Today, lines form daily for these octopus balls, cooked in iron molds and served in boats with generous drizzles of that original mayo.
