【 Tamana City 】 Introducing "Wakaba Takoyaki" with cabbage luxuriously on top!
Speaking of the main ingredients of takoyaki, it is octopus. With such common sense, I found a shop in Tamana City that contains Takuan in Takoyaki. And plenty of cabbage on top of Takoyaki! Of course there was octopus inside. I will introduce Otama Takoyaki that seems to be a side dish.
The door where the streamer stands is the entrance of "Wakaba Takoyaki." There is a large parking lot in front of the store, and 10 cars can be parked.
If you enter through the automatic door and say "Hello, please give me takoyaki," someone will always respond.
I immediately took out "Wakaba Takoyaki." First of all, my eyes were glued to the image character of the square face.
The moment you open the lid, the appetizing scent of sauce and mayonnaise is fluffy.
Plenty of crispy cabbage is on top of a large takoyaki.
It is a large takoyaki with a height of about 4 cm!
It is a big ball that feels big and heavy weight.
From the inside, you can see the small chopped "Takuan." The natural sweetness and texture of Takuan are exquisite accents, and it is really delicious!!!!!
The crispy texture of the cabbage and the fluffy takoyaki of the dough spread in my mouth at the same time, and the ingredients such as pickled radish combine in an exquisite balance. Wow, what is it? This new texture of crispy fluffy!
Of course, there is octopus inside. The balance of sweetness and acidity was good, and the taste of the sauce was also the best.
In the takoyaki, "octopus, chopped cabbage, pickled radish, tenkasu, aonori, katsuobushi, red ginger" are well-balanced and very flavorful! The more you chew, the more you collaborate in your mouth, and you can feel the sweetness and deep taste of the ingredients while having an impact. The volume was plentiful, the taste was packed tightly, and it was a takoyaki with a taste that made you smile.
Currently, in addition to over-the-counter sales, it is also sold at the tourist hot plaza "Tamarara" at Shin-Tamana Station, Tamana's agricultural product direct sales "First," and the Fureai no Oka "Koryu Center" in Tamana-gun Gyokuto-cho. It seems that they are also participating in various events, so if you find a place other than the store, we recommend you to try it first! It is delicious even if it is hot or cold! "Wakaba Takoyaki" is a unique large takoyaki with plenty of cabbage and pickled radish, and it was a gem loved by both men and women of all ages.
「玉名 たこ焼き」で探している人に向けて、私が行って感じた“買いやすさ”や“味のイメージ”をもう少し補足します。若葉たこ焼は、一般的なたこ焼きと違って上にキャベツがどっさりのっているので、写真映えだけじゃなく満足感が高いのがポイント。ソースとマヨネーズの香りが立つタイプなので、受け取ってすぐ食べると一番テンションが上がります。 あと「たこ焼き たくあん」って正直イメージ湧きにくいですが、食べると納得。刻んだたくあんが生地の中に散っていて、噛むたびにコリッとした食感とほんのり甘みが出てきます。紅ショウガや天かす、青のり、かつおぶしも入っているので、たくあんだけが浮く感じはなくて、全体のアクセントとしてまとまっていました。“変わり種”だけど、ちゃんとたこ焼きとして成立しているのがすごいところ。 テイクアウトするなら、車で食べる派は特に「箸」が付いてくるのが地味に助かりました。キャベツが多い分、最初のひと口は箸でキャベツとたこ焼きを一緒につかむと食べやすいです。キャベツがシャキシャキしているので、持ち帰りで少し時間が経っても食感が残りやすいのも嬉しい点。ただし、キャベツ＋ソース＋マヨでフタ裏に付きやすいので、開けるときはゆっくりが安心。 玉名のたこ焼き店って色々ありますが、若葉たこ焼は「大玉」でずっしり系。小腹満たしというより、軽食〜おかず寄りの満足感でした。私は温かい状態が好きですが、冷めても味が濃いめで食べやすかったです。 最後に購入のコツ。1日20パック限定で電話予約もできるそうなので、確実に食べたい日は事前連絡が安心です。店頭以外に、新玉名駅の観光ほっとプラザ「たまララ」や直販所などでも販売されることがあるとのことなので、観光やドライブ中に見かけたらチャンス。玉名で“ちょっと変わったたこ焼き”を探しているなら、たくあん入りのシャキふわ食感は一度体験してみてほしいです。
