Begin by boiling the octopus in water for about 5 minutes until tender. Remove and let it cool, then cut into small bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, eggs, dashi stock, soy sauce, and baking powder until you have a smooth batter.
Preheat a Takoyaki pan and lightly oil each compartment.
Pour the batter into each compartment, filling them about halfway.
Add a piece of octopus, some pickled ginger, green onions, and tempura scraps into each compartment.
Pour a little more batter over the top to cover the fillings.
Cook for a few minutes until the edges start to set, then use a skewer to turn each ball 90 degrees.
Continue cooking and turning until the Takoyaki balls are golden brown and evenly cooked.
Remove the Takoyaki from the pan and serve hot, drizzled with Takoyaki sauce and Kewpie mayonnaise.
Garnish with Bonito flakes and Aonori seaweed before serving.
