Takoyaki (たこ焼き, lit. „grilled octopus“) are a popular kind of street food which you come across around nearly every corner in large Japanese cities, especially in the Kansai region (Ōsaka, Kyōto, …).

These came from the Tenjinbashi-suji in Ōsaka.

Mate, if you write Kyōto, you also have to write Ōsaka

While we’re being pedantic,

lit. “octopus balls”

It doesn’t literally mean that, it’s more like “grilled octopus”.
