 From The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange:

The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam shares the delight of introducing the great street snack from Japan, Takoyaki through a lecture & workshop in Hanoi on Sunday 27 January 2013, organized by the Embassy of Japan in Vietnam.

Takoyaki is a very popular Japanese fast food snack which is made from grilled balls of a wheat flour-based batter with a small piece of octopus inside. Originally from Osaka, Takoyaki is one of the “must” items at special events and festivals all over the Japan to be offered for visitors.

You might fancy that “octopus balls” do not sound delicious but the taste is so yummy that many foreigners have been attracted and became fan of Takoyaki once they have experienced.

It requests us to use a special Takoyaki pan but it is not difficult to master the art of cooking, once you practice well.

In this event, Japanese and Vietnamese specialists from the long-established Japanese restaurant “Kyy” (based in Hanoi) will deliver a lecture to introduce “What is Takoyaki?”, comparing with some popular Vietnamese foods such as Banh Xeo and Pho, followed by a workshop on how to make Takoyaki bringing the special Takoyaki pans from their restaurant. In the end, the participants will enjoy the taste of self-made Takoyakis.

The lecture and workshop will be conducted in Vietnamese three times on Sunday 27 January; Session 1 from 10:00 – 11:30, Session 2 from 13:00 – 14:30 and Session 3 from 15:00 – 16:30. The venue is the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam (27 Quang Trung, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi).

Free admission but pre-registration is required. For your registration, please call us at 04-3944-7419 (ext.135) or send an e-mail to [email protected] informing us which session you would like to participate in with your full name, sex, occupation and a mobile number. The opening hours for registration are from 09:30 – 12:00 / 14:00 -17:30 on weekdays.

We do hope more Takoyaki lovers will be born after this event!
