By Trip10116. Baby Octopus, Tako with a hidden surprise
Baby tako is one of the most iconic Japanese foods. It is a small, bite-sized and crunchy food on a stick. These small tako also enclose a quail egg in their heads, adding to the savoury experience.
15. Taiko-Manju, drumroll please~!
Taiko-maju is a Japanese baked sweet commonly found at Japanese festivals. Made of batter and filled with azuki bean paste, this food is extremely popular in Japan. As the delicacy develops, many variations are born including vanilla custard, fruit preserves, curry or even meat fillings. 'Taiko' means drum in Japanese, which may explain the shape of this dessert.
14. Mitarashi Dango - sweet skewered dough balls
Mitarashi dango is a type of dango skewered onto sticks and covered with a sweet soy sauce glaze. In stores where customer flow is high, the high turnover of the dangos ensures the fragrance of the dango as they are constantly freshly grilled.
13. Parfaits, beautiful desserts
Parfaits in Japan are generally large and extremely pretty in their brightly coloured fruity goodness. In Urban Research Cafe within Horie Tachibana (Orange Street) is a cafe that offers such pretty parfaits and aromatic drip coffees. The wooden furnishings give a nice ambience for a place to chill out and relax, perfect for a short break in our quest to thoroughly explore Osaka.
