Tachikawa, Tokyo, Japan｜たこ焼き居酒屋 蛸光 立川店

A small takoyaki restaurant where you can eat in. It has an Osaka-style fluffy texture and is quite large, making it delicious. The prices are low, you can order from 4 pieces, and there are many types of sauces, so you can enjoy a variety of flavors.

This is an izakaya that I used after work. The store I originally wanted to go to closed early, so I went to this nearby store. The store has two floors; the first floor has a cash register, kitchen, and counter seats, and the second floor has only tatami seats. Since there were multiple people there, we were guided to a tatami room on the second floor and seated. There was an ordering device on the wall of the seat, so you could verbally order to a staff member far away from your seat. From what I saw on the menu, the drinks and food are pretty cheap! We decided to take advantage of the opportunity to share and eat various types of takoyaki. This time we ordered takoyaki with spicy sauce, cheese pizza style takoyaki, and ponzu sauce takoyaki! We also had fries and pickled cucumbers. As we toasted with beer and chatted, food appeared one after another. Takoyaki is Osaka-style takoyaki with a slightly melty inside. I felt that the takoyaki were a little small, but the large size of each takoyaki and the cheap price made up for it. The dry sauce has an irresistible spiciness that comes after, and the good combination with the mayonnaise makes it a great drink! The ponzu sauce takoyaki tasted just as I expected, but it was a refreshing takoyaki that was just right for the strange taste. The cheese pizza-style takoyaki is topped with plenty of cheese, but be careful as it will harden if you don't eat it quickly. Nowadays, it's not uncommon to find a restaurant that offers a wide variety of drinks, but the ones that I especially appreciate are the ones that are served quickly and the beer is delicious. Although it seemed busy, I was still impressed by how quickly the food was served. It was an izakaya that smokers would be happy to enjoy as they allowed smoking at their seats. Thank you for the meal.

It was great to be able to eat and compare various kinds of takoyaki! It's so delicious! I'll go again
