baked octopus

Walking around Arashiyama area for looking for a well-known famous "tofu" shop, I found a local supermarket. Around here, there were lots of small-alleys that looked like a spider's web, so I was not sure where I walked at the time. In other words, I might be lost.

In front of this supermarket, you can see the two girls waiting for something from the woman in a stall. She actually was making "takoyaki", which was baked-octopus-ball made by small diced octopuses, flour, egg and kind of leek, with oyster sauce and mayonnaise (if you like) on it. The girls eagerly looked how the takoyaki-chef could make small balls, and maybe they also enjoyed smelling the flavor of oyster sauce burning on an iron plate.
Here was Arashiyama, Kyoto, Japan.
