Ogaki, Gifu, Japan｜PAKU-PAKUパクパク ラ・ムー 大垣店

When you buy a meal ticket from the ticket vending machine right next to the store and hand it over to the clerk at the window, you'll be greeted with pre-made takoyaki that is usually kept in Styrofoam, but it's cool enough that you won't get burned. It's easy to eat. If you want to eat freshly baked food, the best time to go is when the ticket vending machine says "wait for XX minutes". If you purchase a food ticket first, give it to them, receive a number tag, and then head over to PAKU-PAKU after shopping at La Mu, you can buy super piping hot freshly prepared food (preferably chilled as you don't want to get burned). I like it lol)

PAKU-PAKU is famous for its cheap takoyaki shop attached to La Mu. 100 yen for 6 pieces of takoyaki makes me question the quality of the products and the prices in Japan, but they are delicious. 6 pieces of melty takoyaki with sauce, bonito flakes, and green seaweed. Very basic taste. Mayonnaise is available for a fee, 20 yen per bag. In addition to takoyaki, they also sell soft serve ice cream. This is also 100 yen. *I'm not sure about weekdays, but there will be waiting times at many times on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Sometimes you can get it right away, but sometimes you have to wait 15 minutes or even 40 minutes. There is no waiting time for soft serve ice cream, and it is served immediately.

It's 100 yen for a pack of 6 takoyaki, so I buy it occasionally. I usually buy a meal ticket from a vending machine and can redeem it immediately, but when I went to lunch the other day, the vending machine had a wait time of about 25 minutes. After all, I waited about 5 minutes and got the freshly made takoyaki and it was hot and delicious.
