世界中で大人気のハローキティ、このブログではそんなキティ発祥の地、日本で大人気の「ご当地キティ」を日本の文化も含めて紹介します。

あなたは「たこ焼き」をご存知ですか?日本の中でも特に関西の人々に親しまれる庶民のおやつです。もちろんそれ以外の地域の人たちも大好きですが。メキシコで言う「タコス」、イギリスで言う「フィッシュアンドチップス」のような存在でしょうか?

たこ焼きは、小麦粉の生地の中にタコの小片を入れ直径3cm〜5cmほどの球形に焼き上げた大阪発祥の料理です。店内でたこ焼きを食べることができる専門の店もありますが、一般的に親しまれているのは持ち帰り専門のお店です。そして個人が家で作り食べることも少なくありません。基本的な作り方は以下のようになりますが、もともとが庶民のための非常にカジュアルな食べ物であるため、お店や作る人によって手順やたこ以外の中に入れるもののバリエーションは変わってきます。

1.専用の鉄板に、出汁(たいていの場合、鰹節で取ったもの)でといた小麦粉の生地を流し込みます。
2.刻んだタコを入れます。
3.その人・店独自の薬味や味を追加します。(天かすや紅ショウガ、小口ねぎなど)
4.表面が焼けてきたらコロコロと返して球状に仕上げます。
5.きれいな焼き色がついたら出来上がり。
6.上にソースと青のり、鰹節をかけて箸・または爪楊枝(キティの頭に刺さっているのは爪楊枝です!)でいただきます。中身はトロトロな状態、そして熱々なうちが美味しいとされています。

今では日本中で愛され、関西地方では、嫁入り道具としてたこ焼きを焼く機械を持っていくと言われるほど生活に密着した食べ物ですが、日本の他では南欧やメキシコ以外ではタコを食べる習慣がないため、お寿司や天ぷらほどには世界に浸透していかないようですね。日本人としては海外の方たちにも食べて頂きたいおいしい食べ物ですが、やはりまだまだ食文化の壁は高く厚いのかもしれません…。
