Takasaki, Gunma, Japan｜Takoyaki Benten - Takasaki Main Shop

The takoyaki was delicious! It has a crispy exterior with a nice gooey interior. It has plenty of octopus that was cooked perfectly so that it was nice and moist and was very tender. The sauce and mayonnaise were a little sweet together but had a wonderful smoky and savory flavour. I had it with the green leek and spicy powder and would highly recommend it. As a plus it's very cheap and the portions are large. I was full from just one set!

I wanted to come here because it was introduced on a TV program, and this was one of the reasons I came to Takasaki. I had heard from a friend that it was sometimes closed, but today I was informed that it was open, so I went there. Unfortunately, there was a typhoon coming, so we weren't dancing in the rain.The owner is a very personable person. When I went there, they said they had reservations, so I asked them to wait 30 minutes (you have to make a reservation and have them come pick it up). Limit of 1 pack per person (1 group)! Big takoyaki, crispy on the outside, melty on the inside, maybe the sauce is different? I wonder if the takoyaki powder is different? delicious. I wanted it to be rich, so I chose mayo corn, but the corn was sweet and filling. You can eat one pack by yourself. It was delicious, so before I left, I directly told the owner again how delicious it was (lol). Customers say it's delicious even when it's cold, but it's best when it's freshly made. Although I am from Yamanashi, I am looking forward to visiting Gunma Prefecture again.

There was quite a wait due to the TV, but it was worth the wait. The green onions are also sweet and delicious. The manager was also interesting. I want to go again and again. He also said that at lunchtime, there was no wait and no limit on the number of items. The mayonnaise and green onions are irresistibly delicious.
