KARL'S BALLS


 "TAKO" MEANS OCTOPUS, "YAKI"   MEANS TO GRILL or bake.  WHAT SEPARATES karl's takoyaki  FROM THE REST  IS A TRULY HAND MADE RECIPE.  

ALL OF THE OCToPUS IS BOILED WHOLE , INSPECTED, AND CUT PIECE BY PIECE BY KARL'S KNIFE.  each cut IS SOFT WITH A SLIGHT CHEW!  karl prepares  EACH OCTOPus IN A SPECIAL PROCESS that takes 3 days from start to end THAT MAKES IT "SUSHI READY".  

the BATTER is a homemade recipe, secret dashi with various ingredients for a truly tasty, savory, sweet batter. 
the BAKING METHOD technique, incorporates cooking only by hand, by continuous rotation and flipping of the batter.  this  ENSURES THAT THE OUTSIDE WILL BE slightly crisp AND SOFT, BUT very WET ON THE INSIDE.   

this is because of 100% copper plates.  it is a supreme cooking element for cooking takoyaki. 

KARL'S SPECIAL, tangy takoyaki  BALL SAUCE.   

there is truly nothing like it!  ​karl's BALL SAUCE IS SLIGHTLY SWEET, TANGY, SPICY AND FRUITY ALL IN ONCE.  

***one word of caution. karl's takoyaki  is cooked just like some of his favorite stores in osaka.  that means, it is prone to  be very very soft and  creamy.  this is the true authentic  kansai  style.  other areas of japan, such as tokyo are known to have a crispier more oil-fried version***.

this just in!!!
​
​*****did you know that most izakayas here in the usa serve only frozen takoyaki??? yes this is true!  most of them are frozen, and deep fried like chicken nuggets.  dame desuyo!  this is not real takoyaki.  come see karl to see the difference.  from osaka, to yo' blocka*****
