Shinji is addicted to these takoyaki. The shop is called Tsukiji Gindaco and they are scattered throughout the city. We asked what the relationship was to Tsukiji and the shop master said that Tsukiji was a recognizable brand for good quality and freshness so the company uses it, but that in fact their main shop (honten) is in Ginza.
Takoyaki are often translated as tako balls, or octopus balls. Small bite size bits of octopus are cooked inside a savory batter. Gindaco manages to make it crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. These balls, hot out of the griddle, are covered with a savory sauce, katsuobushi flakes and nori.
