Maru Global Takoyaki's new spring menu

Japanese hideaway Maru Global Takoyaki (255 S. 10th St.) is celebrating its first birthday with a new menu for spring. The menu isn't the only thing they're changing up, though they've gone so far as to expand their okinomoyaki (Japanese pizza) delivery hours to last all day every day, they've tacked on a sandwich selection and expanded their offerings in the grab-and-go section. The Japanese pizza sounds like a flattened version of their signature takoyaki balls essentially, it's a fluffy crepe with the option of any of the toppings otherwise found inside the takoyaki. On the sandwich front, look out for the Spicy Crunchy Kani Cake ($9.50), a crabcake with spicy mayo, lettuce and pickles; and Chef Ryo's Japanese Chicken ($7.50), for which Ryo Igarashi (above) combines a breaded chicken breast with spicy Japanese mustard, cabbage and talkuan (pickled daikon). Maru's new menu went live yesterday; check it out in full after the jump.
