Takuwa
Takuwa is a Japanese word that can refer to several things, most commonly a type of rice ball or a specific kind of fishing lure. In the context of food, takuwa refers to a grilled or pan-fried rice ball, often seasoned with soy sauce or other savory ingredients. These rice balls are typically made from leftover cooked rice, shaped into a desired form, and then cooked until a crispy exterior is achieved. They are a simple and popular snack or light meal in Japan.
Alternatively, takuwa can also be the name of a specific type of fishing lure used in Japan.
