I've eaten takoyaki in the middle of Henan and smalltown Jiangsu, night markets in Shandong with the dimpled pans and full of frying dough and squid, finished with shredded seaweed, a squirt of sweet mayo (and ketchup, if you'd like), and a blob of wasabi on the side.

It was smoked yellow fish, hot dogs, cucumber, Miracle Whip (really, real Miracle Whip) and meat floss (肉松). It was basically the same type of deal as the sushi rolls you get in the billions of Korean restaurants in China (local places and chains like 土大力). Closer to American mall sushi than Japanese or Korean. (In Lianyungang, I also ate at a real deal Japanese joint run by some locals that took advantage of hip kids and a small Japanese community right beside the ocean and did raw, superfresh fish and authentic Japanese dishes really well).
