Takoyaki is a beloved Japanese dish, popular across the globe.

Because of this popularity, snacks inspired by takoyaki (small, round, savory balls of batter filled with pieces of octopus) have also become quite popular.

In this article, we’ll introduce different kinds of takoyaki-flavored snacks and chips and explain why Zelico can export them to various countries.

Are you familiar with "takoyaki chips" 
that aren’t in the shape of a ball?

When people think of Japanese takoyaki snacks, they usually picture round, ball-shaped snacks.

But actually, takoyaki-flavored chips are also gaining popularity overseas. One example is the "Sauce Takoyaki Senbei."

The chips offer an authentic flavor, just like real takoyaki, with the savory taste of sauce, along with hints of aonori (green seaweed) and ginger.

It's a snack that both kids and adults will find irresistible. If you've tried the round takoyaki snacks, you definitely need to give these chips a try as well.
