Osaka, Japan｜たこ安

I had the pleasure of eating twice at this hidden gem of a takoyaki restaurant in Osaka's Nishinari district, and I must say, it's without a doubt the best takoyaki I've ever had! The flavors are rich and delightful, clearly made with a lot of love and care. The owner, who has been perfecting his craft for an impressive 27 years, now works alongside his son, creating a dream team that truly shines. Sympa and down-to-earth! What sets this place even more apart is not just the exceptional taste, but also the value it offers. Unlike the overpriced and mediocre options you'll find in Namba, often catering to hordes of tourists, this place delivers top-notch quality at an insanely affordable price. I couldn't believe my eyes when I got a generous serving of 15 mouthwatering takoyaki balls for just 600 JPY (approximately 4 USD). 5 Takoyaki for 250 JPY (1.70 USD) It's an absolute steal! If you're looking to experience authentic, delectable takoyaki made by experts who put their heart and soul into their work, I highly recommend giving this place a visit. The combination of flavors, the history behind the father-son team, and the unbeatable price make this restaurant a true standout in Osaka's culinary scene. Don't miss out on this culinary delight!
