Ikayaki (いか焼き, イカ焼き or 烏賊焼, literally baked squid) is a popular fast food in Japan. It may refer variously to either simple grilled topped with soy sauce [1] or a style of squid pancake in Osaka.
The pancake style is prepared like folded crêpes and made of chopped squid, hard dough, sauce and sometimes egg, and is cooked and pressed between two iron plates. Ikayaki's popularity is partly due to its speed, as it only takes a minute to cook it this way.[2]
The Snack Park of Hanshin Department Store (Umeda, Osaka) is famous for its ikayaki.[citation needed] Ikayaki is also commonly served on the street or at the beach.
It should not be confused with takoyaki, which are spherical octopus dumplings also from Osaka.[1]
