Japanese people love octopus balls, so much so that there's an entire museum devoted to them in Osaka. Now, you can make your own delicious octopus balls at home with this wonderful kit from Sugiyama.

All you have to do is get some takoyaki mix and sauce at your local Japanese supermarket, some octopus, scallion, ginger, and put it all together in this machine. Yummmm. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

If you haven't tried octopus balls, you're totally missing out.

That's almost what the ex's roomy had... :puppydog: :puppydog:

the one in the pic is cool..it's got a brush to oil the pan, it's got four takoyaki picks to stab your friend's eye out if he touches your octo balls and it has a kettle to pour the batter in the holes.....sweet-o

i wonder if they ship internationally... :puppydog:

Amazon Japan probably does.

it's like with consumer electronics...we always get the bunk shiet in the States, and they keep the cutting edge stuff in the homeland.

hidoi... :shakehead:

to increase the wealth of the japanese empire.

Even if you could import one, if they don't sell them where you are, they probably don't have the takoyaki mix. =T

I'd love to buy one, but the only ingredient I could buy would probably be the ginger. I could always reheat the frozen takoyaki in it. It can't be worst than 3min in the microwave. :sweat:

the mix isn't hard to make.
