Story

About this place

Big takoyaki by the Central Gate, a short walk from the Tower of the Sun — the shio-kombu mayo is the one to try

The Top Recommendation: Shio-Kombu Mayo Takoyaki

My top recommendation is the shio-kombu mayo takoyaki.

The outside is soft and fluffy, while the inside is piping hot and creamy, with a satisfyingly plump piece of octopus.

The combination of savory salted kelp (shio-kombu) and creamy mayonnaise creates a distinctly Japanese flavor that is quite different from classic sauce-covered takoyaki.

It is lighter and more refined than I expected, and very easy to keep eating.

This was my personal favorite of the flavors I tried.

Negi Ponzu Takoyaki

The negi ponzu version is also worth trying.

Mayonnaise adds richness, while ponzu provides a refreshing citrus-like acidity.

Even if you are not usually a fan of raw green onions, the balance is surprisingly pleasant.

Compared with the richer shio-kombu mayo, negi ponzu is the fresher and lighter option.
