                                According to nutritional data, a single serving of plain takoyaki has a minimal amount of sugar, often less than one gram, but this does not tell the whole story. The perception of whether takoyaki has sugar is largely influenced by the rich, sweet, and savory sauces and toppings that are almost always served with this popular Japanese street food.
