Osaka Osakashi Nishinari-ku Tamadenishi 2-3-1

This long-standing takoyaki (octopus dumpling) restaurant was founded in 1933 in Nishinari Ward, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. This place is said to be where the founder’s “radio-yaki,” which contained konjac (devil’s tongue) and beef, was invented, and this would become the foundation for “takoyaki.” The octopus is lightly grilled to keep it nice and soft, which brings out the delicious flavor. It’s said to be tasty even without sauce or when cold. There’s also the popular “negiyaki” (green onion pancake), rich with the taste of green onions, and suji konjac (devil’s tongue with sinewy meat). There is a space for eating in.

会津屋は、たこ焼の元祖としてグルメには有名だ。つまり、多くの日本人が食べてきたたこ焼は、この店で考案されたのだ。元祖たこ焼１２個を買い、持ち帰って食べた。皮が香ばしく、美味しかった。ソース、マヨネーズ、青のりをかけず、「そのまま食べろ」というたこ焼。ソース、マヨネーズをかけなくても味が良いのは、皮の香ばしさがあるから。
