Takoyasu’s Takoyaki
Thoughts and Feelings about Takoyaki
The original owner’s older brother has been running a takoyaki shop for over 50 years
The owner used to work in dyeing, but as the dyeing process became more mechanized and the business became challenging, he started working with his older brother about 30 years ago and they built this shop on their own.
The owner expressed a strong desire to provide something they find delicious and confidently serve to customers!
I sensed a strong determination to offer delicious takoyaki.

Delicious Takoyaki
Takoyaki from Takoayasu is divided into three types based on the cooking method.
Standard takoyaki, soft-cooked and crispy-cooked. Even the standard takoyaki has a slightly crispier texture compared to other shops!
Be sure to share each type with everyone and experience the differences for yourself.
There is also a strong commitment to the sauce.

For ponzu, it is an original seasoning that is refreshing and leaves a very pleasant aftertaste!

No matter how much the inflation for octopus, they always use fresh raw octopus!
I had a chance to see the actual cutting of octopus, and it was a huge octopus.
