Ok let’s face it, I’m a big #takoyaki fan. I had a fair share of this fun yummy snack back when I was a uni student in Kyushyu and each time I come back to Japan it’s always on top of the list.
Takoyaki is an iconic representative of Osaka so it wouldn’t make sense if I don’t eat it first during this trip.
This time I found this small eatery by chance while surfing the Osaka Michelin guide. It’s the only takoyaki restaurant that is included in the guide so I thought I would give it a try.
The shop is located in a small alley in a quiet neighborhood about 800m from Namba station. Theres are only 6 seats inside but everything is so well designed and organized. They are famous for their cheese salt takoyaki so I gave it a try. It looked very impressive and mouth watering. I love it when the cheese melted and coated the octopus balls. I also tried their standard takoyaki with sauce and mayonnaise which was super yum. However the highlight was the amazing wasabi takoyaki. I didn’t expect such an intense kick in this familiar snack.
Takoyaki is usually sold on the street as takeaway. To be able to actually sit down and enjoy it as a proper meal felt so different and great. The atmosphere was very peaceful with calm music. Loved this place so much!
