I have spent a lot of time in Japan for school and work and loved nothing more than fresh takoyaki…read moreon a cold day. Given that takoyaki is made with octopus, something that many non-Japanese are averse to, I had given up hope on finding these doughy balls of flavor anywhere outside of Japan. But, lo and behold, as my husband and I were walking through Strasbourg one cold night, we stumbled upon Yaki House. We ordered the traditional, and watched as our server hand made each piece (with exactly the tools and care it's made with in Japan!), and added all of the typical green onions, bonito flakes, kyuupi mayo, etc. It was piping hot, delicious, and best of all, authentic! Even my husband, who had never had such a dish before, thought it was delicious. We regretted making dinner reservations for later that night otherwise we would've ordered more right on the spot. Even better was the fact that the space was super cozy with fun vintage Japanese decorations, with low noise levels - future date night material for sure. Can't wait to come back and try the okonomiyaki too!
