Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ogochan

Hidden gem in Tokyo. Love it, takoyakis are delicious here and the owner is a really charming person. 100% would recommend to everyone. Come and have a good meal!

This bar has great food and an such an interesting vibe; there's no place quite like it in the area. It's well decorated and when I came in he had late 80's japanese rock music playing which I enjoyed. The owner is also super friendly. My japanese is not great but he made the effort to make some conversation which I appreciated. As for food, the yakisoba was well portioned and hearty. The takoyaki was hot, but quite enjoyable. And lastly, the prices were quite reasonable. I highly recommend this place.

Incredible service, the owner gets you things like cold towels and water refills for the summer before you even think about asking for it. You can tell he genuinely cares for his customers. Also the atmosphere and music has been exceptionally decorated, he loves rock/metal and wrestling. It floods the walls and the room with great vibes. Haven't tried his famous takoyaki yet but I'm also guessing it's probably perfect too. I was the first customer when he opened so I'm getting insane VIP treatment. Come early! 😂
