Squid Balls

Konichiwa everybody!

I decided to do a little quickie before my tales of Caspar's jam playing. One of the days last week, Annette and I walked to the Tokyo Dome to get some air, while Caspar had some translation work to do. We didn't really have an aim, other than an anime shop, so after we had been there, we walked around a little while until we saw a place where they sold Takoyaki. This is a Japanese gastronomical unit containing Tako - Japanese for octopus. It is a little ball with notable similarities to a Danish dessert called æbleskiver (Danish donuts) from the outside. When you take the first bite, however, you will be able to notice where the two foods stop the similarities. Just to make a graphical example of what I am trying to explain, I included a photo below.

(Squid ball!)

If you click on the photo, you will see a larger version of it. On there you can see what the purple thing sticking out of the ball is. I will say that it tastes very good. This was just an unfortunate result of a bite, which made it look slightly unappetizing for a brief moment.

That was all I wanted to say for this entry.

Take care!
