Soft and juicy.
Wow.
Mentioning that, while we’re..
That’s that.
Nice and juicy.
Oh my god.
It’s already recording.
This is the Cathy Cat camera right now.
Hello, that’s Endigo’s face.
Let’s take a look inside his nose.
Hello.
Find anything interesting?
And then there’s Maya.
Hi.
Let me hide inside your hair.
Oh the power.
Face reveal.
We could do one of those 200k subs director face reveal.
Oh man.
I think we need to have a lot more subscribers for him to show his face.
So first, I never read the instructions.
Why not?
You feel your work.
A true master.
Water.
Where are the cups?
No cups?
He said he doesn’t need them.
Oh, you have to split the water in several times.
So water in, stir.
Water in, stir.
So it’s divided evenly.
So that was our first mistake.
So hungry.
Let’s have a sleepy picture.
Am I in frame?
I never use egg.
Never use egg?
What?
So if you use the egg, it gets harder and it’s not juicy and soft anymore.
Interesting.
Okay, let’s do this.
Show us how to do it.
And the heat is on.
The heat is on.
Oh, okay.
Whoa.
You’re not being stingy with the oil here.
Is there anything about heat in one of your music?
No I think ...
The heat is on...
Cathy you did this right. Use the oil all over.
Okay I was right. - I said so.
That was nice.
We have Cathy Cat on the special camera here.
This is the one we usually shoot with when we’re out in Tokyo.
I’m allowed to touch it today.
I’m kind of nervous.
He’s B-rolling it.
I’m touching it.
So many cameras right now.
The director is totally going to do this.
So we have the heat on.
Everything is oiled up.
The gas is gassing.
The gas is doing the thing that gas does.
He’s checking again.
Sizzling.
Checking.
Sizzling.
Scissoring?
Checking.
He’s a true master.
A takoyaki master.
Mentioning that, while we’re…
Hear the sound of that.
Look tasty.
Very very very tasty.
I am flabbergasted.
Oh, you’re filling the whole thing.
But it didn’t say that on the package.
Oh, we are using these?
Oh, the crunchy stuff.
They are called Tenkasu.
Tempura crackers.
So let’s add tako please.
This already looks more like a white chocolate, oh wait not anymore.
Dude, you’re so fast.
He’s so quick.
Maya, you’re falling behind.
I’m falling behind!
That looks pretty.
Yeah, this looks beautiful.
Oh, the last one.
Oh, you cut it?
What?
For sure!
To make the balls.
Now add this inside.
So, your shape were only half a ball.
Yeah, we only had half a ball.
We didn’t have enough dough to actually make it round.
This is so impressive.
You turn little by little.
So little by little, not a full thing – little by little.
It looks more like a gratin.
We can’t see the balls yet because he’s only doing half balls right now.
This is insane.
Does every ball have octopus? I think so.
Somebody is lucky with two tako bits in there.
So loads of dough fits.
A tako flew out.
No escaping.
Makes sense.
I’m not as good though.
That does look good.
That looks cozy.
This is what it’s supposed to be.
That looks like balls.
Whoa, juicy!
Oh, look at that.
That’s that.
That’s the kind of takoyaki I love.
The heat is stronger around here.
So we change?
Oh!
We’re learning stuff.
Do we think this is finished guys?
It could be?
So we need sauce and stuff, but it looks good?
Director: No.
No?
No?!
What else?
More oil?
What?
To make it more crispy!
I’m saying this, if I were to get them like this at the store, I would not complain.
However, crispier is better.
Oh, listen.
Listen!
It sounds like an ASMR video.
This is really crispy!
A great idea that you did that.
Finished!
That looks good.
So we added oil right at the end.
Look at that compared to what we made.
It’s so pretty.
Oh my god.
Yum!
We forgot the…
Right!
Seaweed.
We need seaweed.
Yes.
Of course, seaweed.
Why did the lobster cry.
Because the sea weed.
What?
Keep trying.
I can’t.
I can’t do it.
Oh, it’s so beautiful.
How nice.
Oh, it’s like frames.
Oh, it looks so good.
Oh yes!
Whoa!
Arigatou~
Back to the director’s camera.
Incredible.
You know how ours were very hard and very cold very quickly.
I think these are going to be boiling inside.
Yeah.
As much as ours were bad, I think these will be as good.
Let’s try.
Itadakimasu!
Oh my god!
Is this really the same thing?
Are these the same ingredients?
These are the same ingredients but this tastes completely different.
Well, don’t we suck?
This is crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
You can just see how soft it is.
This is super soft.
Super soft~ This is so good.
This is ridiculous.
This is perfect.
I’ve had so many takoyaki that have been way worse at restaurants than this.
It’s so good.
Incredible.
This is so good.
Oishii.
So, on a scale from 1 to 10 how many points would you give the Ask Japanese director’s
homemade takoyaki?
Easiest 10 ever.
Yeah.
10.
11.
Thank you so much!
It was so good!
Also, don’t forget to check out Maya Fennec’s channel and Endigo’s channel.
I have a little bit of B-roll.
We have B-roll of the footage today on Endigo’s camera.
So that’s going to be up at the same time so we’ll put links down below and at the
end of the video so you can find your way to the other stuff that’s awesome.
And we’ve done more videos together before.
Including our Takoyaki judge.
And by the time this video goes up, we may have done even more.
Who knows?
Exactly.
So don’t forget to check the playlist at the end and see you guys!
Bye!
Mata nyan!
