Osaka, Japan｜Takoyaki Okoku

Made a reservation and was quite late to arrive, but was able to get a seat for my family of 2+3. It was a new and fun experience for us, and our first proper meal in Osaka, and actually our whole Japan trip. I'm not usually a big fan of takoyaki, but this was quite fun and yummy. There were many toppings to choose from, and a 1 hour time limit to make as many takoyaki as you can. We only managed 2x20 as we were all newbies and wanted to make sure everything was properly cooked. After dinner, we tried to get a taxi but was not able to as it was late and the tempozan had already closed, so we went back to ask where we could get a taxi. One of the female staff rode a bicycle to help us flag one, but I think she was not successful, as another male staff later personality called a taxi for us using the Go app. Really grateful for the great service!

Walked in from a blazing hot day to a nice cool air conditioned place. Great Takoyaki in various flavors, lightly battered tasty karaage chicken. Highlight is the Soy and butter potato (French fries)… really good flavor and makes you go hmmmmm… Reasonable priced drinks and good service. Close to the aquarium so easy to drop by to or from your visit there. Definitely worth a visit!

Amazing Takoyaki and Karaage. We added the Negi options. The taste was great. Loved it.
