Those ingredients just don't mix. I mean mochi, seriously? A yummy sweet treat on its own...
Mochi is just glutenous rice pounded into a paste. It's just an ingredient. Perhaps you're thinking of the treats made from mochi, which of course have added sweetener.
Or perhaps Matcha, but that's more bitter (well, its natural taste is).

It looks like a monster takoyaki and looks fantastic! Takoyaki doesn't necessarily have to have Octopus in them, too. There's all kinds of variety in Osaka (home of takoyaki) and many people in Kansai has their own takoyaki grill at home.
