On the 14th, "Japanese takoyaki really uses octopus" became a hot topic on China's SNS Weibo.

A related video shows the process of making "Odori-dako" (Dancing Octopus) takoyaki, which contains an entire sand octopus (Iidako) in each piece.

Chinese netizens posted a flurry of positive comments such as "It's different from Chinese takoyaki," "It looks delicious," "I'm getting hungry," "Watching this makes me want to eat it," "Wow, it looks so delicious. I want to eat it (tears)," "These are really delicious, aren't they?" and "They look so cute."

Also, comments such as "It only tastes good when real ingredients are used," "This is real takoyaki. What I've been eating until now was just flour balls," and "Our big flour balls are awful, so I'll never eat them again," were received one after another, suggesting that the presence of octopus is barely felt in Chinese takoyaki.

In addition, comments such as "There are some that use real octopus in China too, for the record," "China uses real octopus too, right? It's just cut into small pieces," "There are probably similar ones in mainland China too. Probably in big cities," "I've seen them in Taiwan," and "Even in Japan, this type of takoyaki is a minority," were also received. (Translated/Edited by Kitada)
