How to make Takoyaki

Takoyaki is a popular Japanese dumpling made of batter, diced or whole baby octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, ponzu, mayonnaise, green laver (aonori), and katsuobushi (fish shavings), first popularized in Taisho-era Osaka, where a street vendor named Endo Tomekichi is credited with its invention in 1935. Takoyaki can be found in shops called issen-yoshoku , which roughly translates to "one-penny Western food". There is a similarly named dish called ikayaki but it is a broiled whole squid and bears no resemblance. Yaki is derived from "yaku" which simply means "to bake or grill" in Japanese, and can be found in the names of other Japanese cuisine items such as teriyaki or sukiyaki.

Where can I get one of those electric rectangular Takoyaki cookers? Looks to be really convenient. I have a cast iron one I bought off ebay and I want a plugin-and cook but I want one of these you have in the video, which BTW is way delightfully done. My email is douglaslloydbuchholz (at) yahoo (dot) com. I WANT to find out where to get this particular table or counter top cookers please and thank you. Domo Arigato!!! Douglas
