The takoyaki dishes are so delicious here!
The Takoyaki Balls are made right in front of you and they are really delicious! They come with different toppings and come in servings of six or twelve. The toppings include salmon roe, cheese, mayonnaise just to name a few. These dishes a fantastic but give them time to cool down as they are piping hot when served! The octopus balls go well with the highballs served here. Highballs are very refreshing and are a perfect summertime drink. During the warmer months there is outside seating in the Tanuki Koji arcade. Definitely a top spot so enjoy a drink and octopus dishes!
