Takoyaki Is More Than a Street Food in Osaka, Japan | Eater

"The longest-running takoyaki shop, founded in the 1930s by inventor Tomekichi Endo, serves the original, smaller-style spheres meant to be enjoyed without sauces so the salty dashi-flour batter and filling textures come through; ordering the three-ball sampler is recommended to compare this classic incarnation with its predecessors, radioyaki and Akashiyaki." - La Carmina

12 pcs for JPY 700. Bought before closing coz chef called out to us to try them. A different type of takoyaki for us. I do like them without sauce. I can really taste d balls n d fillings, plus there's no mess aft eating. Chef is v thoughtful - he reminded us to bite carefully as d filling was piping hot 🥰 Common seating area is available.

Interesting beef filling! The predecessor of takoyaki has melt in mouth meat and konjac. Unlike many other takoyaki, the center is airy and not solid with flour (so it’s possible to eat a dozen lol) but I do hope there are smaller portions. And I’m so happy it doesn’t come with mayonnaise lol (wasn’t a fan of takoyaki because of that) Came across this shop in the food court. The atmosphere is food court. The people are friendly :)

Being my first experience with true Japanese takoyaki, my rating might be a bit wrong, but I was pleasantly surprised by these little gems. You get 12 of them for ¥600 and each one has a giant chunk of octopus in them. The sauce was on the inside of them (and the cashier made sure to mention that to me so I didn't go looking for sauce). They were good! I would eat them again for a snack.

This was a little bit of a letdown... I thought that I was ordering award winning takoyaki. Instead, I got takoyaki that was average. I did not like the ones with beef inside. Dry. The ones with leek on top were the tastiest.

If you are looking for typical Takoyaki with the sweet sauce and mayonnaise, do not get these from this franchise. These Takoyaki don’t come with any sauce or toppings, taste somewhat bland. It doesn’t taste terrible, but it was not what I expected.

A local takoyaki stall with normal quality food. I like the traditional takoyaki with source more than their style.

The one and only time we did not love (read: really abhor) food in Japan. The takoyaki here are absolutely disgusting: tasteless (except for a strong aroma like old flour) and way too gooey. The whole place is relatively dirty. Also, way too expensive (600 for 12 pieces). Go look elsewhere for better food.
