Takoyaki is a street food which comes of Osaka, with a small piece of octopus cooked in a batter usually topped with mayonnaise and benito flakes. Takoyaki may come from Osaka though they are common all over Japan now.

The Takoyaki Museum is located on level 4 of the Decks Beach Shopping Mall in Odaiba. Odaiba is a manmade island on Tokyo Bay which has become a very popular shopping and entertainment district. The museum is only small with only a few displays of the history of takoyaki and different displays showing the cooking process. It then opens up into a large hall with many vendors selling different types of Takoyaki.
