A takoyaki stand in Amerikamura, the Osaka district of vintage shops and record crates, where the teenage regulars clearly know something the Dotonbori tourist trail does not. The elderly couple running it have been at this for decades, turning out octopus balls piled with green onions and a version called takosen, where the whole thing gets sandwiched between two thin shrimp crackers. The batter lands soft inside and crisp out, which sounds obvious but rarely is.
