Tako Highball comprises of two very popular dining experiences in Japan. The first is the delicious takoyaki dish. Takoyaki is a ball shaped dish made from batter and filled with minced or diced octopus, tempura, ginger, and green onion. These dishes are served with highballs. A highball is a hugely popular drink in Hokkaido. It is whiskey and soda served on ice in a large pint glass. So, hence the name Tako Highball, this is a great restaurant to find both. 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!
