Trip to Akashi

Sam and I went to Akashi today to try some akashiyaki. Akashiyaki is what takoyaki is based on. It has more egg and less doughy. It is also served with dashi broth, which you dip the balls in. They were really good! I don't like takoyaki so was I bit worried about not liking it. Reminded me of a Japanese steamed egg dish called chawanmushi.

 Grabbed some goodies to take home whilst we were there.

Mini tako (octopus)-shaped castella - had a caramel taste to them.
Would have been awesome if they had a little bit of caramel sauce in the middle!

Peanut cracker

Assorted pack of crackers

Some tasty snacks from the local bakery. 

Custard filled cake thing with a crunchy toffee almond top

Custard filled doughnut with a crispy cornflake covered outside
