So last Sunday, I decided to chase down this takoyaki craving I got from watching too much anime. Found this tiny stall tucked away between some shops, I grabbed an order, and the first bite was something else. Crispy on the outside, but the inside was all gooey and warm, felt like I was living out an anime scene, but even better because I could actually taste it. Totally made my day. So, I'm sharing this quick and easy recipe for you guys!
