Michelin Star Ranked Takoyaki

This Family owner stall that's been around for 20+ years and recently the daughter-in-law or the current owner created a new takoyaki sauce: cheese (or as we soon found out the most delicious bechamel/alfredo sauce ever) brought over from the daughter-in-law's Turkish heritage.

King Crab!

Special Chopsticks!

I was elated to find special types of chopsticks. Relevant for my senior thesis as well as for eating crab. The curved end allows eaters to get every morsel of meat out from the crab's claws.
