Highlights
The takoyaki here is known for its incredibly soft, gooey, and dashi-rich interior, a distinct style from crispier versions.
They use fresh octopus delivered daily from the market, ensuring a firm and bouncy bite.
Try the Shoyu-Ponsu (Soy Sauce & Vinegar) with green onions for a refreshing, tangy flavor, or the soy sauce and mayo combo.

5 ReviewsDiners generally love this takoyaki shop for its hot, fresh takoyaki with a crispy exterior and gooey interior, generous octopus pieces, and a variety of flavorful sauces. They also highlight the reasonable prices, quick service despite long lines, and convenient standing tables by the river. However, some found the soft texture to be an unexpected flavor.
