Himeji, Hyogo, Japan｜Takomaru

Cheap and tasty. We enjoyed both the akashiyaki (Akashi-style takoyaki) in dashi and sujiyaki (beef tendon balls). Only accepts cash. There are a few seats out the front. Has a cute song ('TAKOMARU SONG' on streaming platforms) playing on loop. Friendly staff.

I'm a takoyaki fan, and I would really put this in my top 3! Really great takoyaki in additional to super friendly obasan selling them!

Delicious down to earth and humble takoyaki shop serving their own style - takoyaki in a dashi broth. YUM!!
