However, just as in the case of okonomiyaki, you can purchase 'takoyaki-ko,' wheat flour mixed with dashi broth soup and grated yam in perfect condition, at the supermarket, and it will do as long as you are not very particular about the taste of takoyaki.
なお、お好み焼き粉と同様に、だしやとろろ芋が最適な状態でブレンドされた「たこ焼き粉」もスーパーなどで入手でき、特にこだわりがなければ十分である。
