About This Design

Osaka Takoyaki Japanese Food Magnet

Osaka Takoyaki Japanese Food Magnet

Takoyaki is one of Osaka’s most famous street foods, and it perfectly reflects the city’s reputation as Japan’s “kitchen”. These are small, round balls of batter filled with diced octopus (tako), green onions, pickled ginger, and tempura bits, cooked in a special moulded pan until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Once cooked, they are typically topped with a savory takoyaki sauce, mayonnaise, bonito flakes, and sometimes seaweed powder, creating a combination of flavours that’s both rich and satisfying. Takoyaki was invented in Osaka in the 1930s, and it quickly became a beloved snack for locals and visitors alike, often sold at street stalls, festivals, and casual eateries called yatai. In Osaka, eating takoyaki is more than just grabbing a quick bite—it’s a social and cultural experience. The city is known for its playful culinary creativity, and Takoyaki exemplifies Osaka’s lively, approachable food culture. Visitors can enjoy watching the skilful flipping of the balls by the vendors, a small performance that adds to the fun of tasting this iconic dish. Whether enjoyed on a bustling street in Dotonbori or at a local festival, takoyaki is a must-try culinary symbol of Osaka, offering a taste of the city’s vibrant energy and love for street food.

Excellent all round, the printing is great and the magnet is streamlined, not chunky. The actual magnet is very strong. Very good quality and the price is low. Absolutely fantastic! Crisp, bright, clean.

I was expecting better. Image looks faded and the houses on the image are near folded underneath. Likely throw this in the bin.

My partner proposed on our first holiday and we ate tonnes of garlic bread. This was a perfect reminder. The magnet is strong and the quality and value for money excellent. Exactly as pictured. Superb.
