    Never had octopus. But these dishes looked amazing. Love how the Japanese take pride in the presentation of their dishes.

      I still remember having Takoyaki for the first time, it's a unique combination of flavours and textures. One of my favourites. Watching videos like this is cool to me because I hope to live there someday.
