This is a Takoyaki shop. Takoyaki is a Japanese popular snack, a kind of pancake. A piece of octopus is inside of each bit.

It was in august the 20th : 30 years old, my birthday. In a street of Roppongi in Tokyo, many stands with food, gifts and music. And with my girlfriend, we saw big big takoyaki. I couldn't resist to taste a plate... delicious. We were seating in the street, eating, watching people. I'm french, it was for me my greatest birthday.

My first night ever in Japan, I was wandering around Narita jet-lagged and hungry, and I saw a shop selling these from a window. I bought a little box of half a dozen, and popped one into my mouth. Barely chewing, I swallowed - only to find that the tako inside the warm exterior was scalding, burning my throat all the way down.
Two days later, I had no fear of any Japanese food.
