Calbee takoyaki balls

$2 a bag

think cheese balls, but not cheese, instead they taste like heaven

that is, they taste exactly like the peculiar blend of takoyaki sauce, aonori, and bonito flakes that are used as the topping on takoyaki

I'm trying not to cram the entire bag in my face at midnight on a Wednesday but it's very hard to resist

please give me more Japanese snacks in the US at a reasonable import price thank you

lures you to Mitsuwa Market, cackling evilly

I loooooooooove Mitsuwa, I don't get to go as often as I want

but the tiny local Japanese shop in town brings truckloads up from there, so I still win

I super need to go down there and buy some cookware tho...I need a tamagoyaki pan to learn to make fluffy eggs

I wish I still had mine, on principle at least.

they are treasured pans

Everything was treasured.
