Takoyaki Wanaka Sennichimae

Takoyaki Wanaka Sennichimae sits under a bright yellow sign adorned with a cartoon octopus. This shop began as a small candy store in the nineteen thirties, but the owner eventually pivoted to frying flour batter balls stuffed with octopus pieces. They serve their takoyaki with a choice of four different sauces, including a simple salt seasoning that lets the flavor of the ginger and green onion shine through. It is a destination for locals who judge a stall by the texture of its skin.
