Where to find takoyaki (octopus nuggets)??

[Steve in Olympia]

I know that chowhounds are up to this task: In yesterday's New York Times, an article raved about takoyaki, a specialty of Osaka, Japan. The article described the food as follows: "Takoyaki are nuggets of octopus embedded in batter, roasted in dimpled pans and topped with mayonnaise, seaweed, bonito flakes, pink shreds of pickled ginger and a tangy sauce somewhat like Worcestershire."

Okay, folks, where can I find this item in the Pacific Northwest? Seattle? Portland? Perhaps Vancouver BC?

Thanks for your help!

I have tried them at a number of places and have never found them as good as I want them to be! But that said, they are serving them at Maneki and Maekawa, both in the ID in Seattle.

Sushiland, the conveyor-belt sushi place on lower Queen Anne has these, not exactly as above, but close.

I would not get the Sushiland Takoyaki.
They are subpar.

Dagoose's selections are solid.
