Japanese Food In Camden


Camden town in London is a bit of a tourist spot, as it contains one of the most vibrant markets in the "center" of London, popular for it's punks and "alternative" clothing it's a popular destination for people that listen to Rock music and the associated cultures. But I digress I'll mention more on Camden another time. One thing Camden does very well is cheap food available from market stalls. The newest addition to which is a Japanese Takoyaki stall. Takoyaki are a popular Japanese food stall snack, mainly made from octopus onions pepper etc in a pancake like mix and about the size and shape of a golf ball. Served with a brown sauce (A little like sticky Teriake sauce) and ground seaweed (Nori). They're eaten off a toothpick or other small stick. Quite appetising, but I'd eaten far too much by the time I spotted this new shop. A curse of walking through so many places selling nice food :-)

PS Check out the sign, it shows an octopus wearing a bandanna that is traditional to Japanese Chefs
