Toyota, Aichi, Japan｜八ちゃん堂 渋谷店

There used to be a lot of stores, but there are no more in my neighborhood (Okazaki City), so I traveled about 20 kilometers to Toyota City. I don't know how many stores there are in Hachichando's hometown of Kyushu, but I hope they stay open forever.

I used to see a lot of them, but when I searched on Google Maps, this was the only place nearby. I ate it for the first time in 25 years and felt nostalgic. Waiting time for takoyaki is 10 minutes. Unique to Hachichando. During that time, I ate soft serve ice cream. Soft-serve ice cream is served in a traditional cone, and as time passes, the soft-serve ice cream starts to melt from the tip of the cone. If you kill the tip, it will drip, increasing the difficulty. nostalgic. Takoyaki is quite large even in this day and age. An octopus in a tray at the supermarket costs 800 yen. thank you. As for how big it is, you can chew it like gum. Both the sauce flavor and soy sauce flavor are traditional and gentle. The outside is not crispy, but the inside is juicy. Perhaps because it was not baked at such a high temperature, the elasticity of the octopus and the flavor of the dough remain. It was worth the wait, and it was blissful to be able to enjoy the freshly made and delicious food. Grilled squid is not available at the Toyota Shibuya store. You can't eat it unless you go to Tsu City, Mie Prefecture. The patterns and fonts remain the same. I would like to let Aichi Prefecture residents in their 40s know about the existence of this store. The fact that the outside walls of the store are covered with climbing plants (ivy or kudzu) is also nostalgic. There are two parking lots. Quite a few people come. The lady at the reception desk is probably in her 70s, so it might be difficult.

In this day and age, 370 yen for takoyaki with large pieces of octopus is too cheap.
