    Osaka Osakashi Kita-ku Komatsubarachou Umeda Underground Town 4-6 Whity Umeda
    This octopus dumpling restaurant, founded in 1979, is located in the “Whity Umeda” underground shopping area that connects directly to Umeda Station. It uses three specially selected types of wheat flour and yam flour along with a special broth to form dough with a soy sauce flavor, creating a wonderful taste even without sauce. The crispy exterior and gooey interior combine with the tender and chewy chunks of octopus to form an amazing combination. There's also okonomiyaki (savory pancake with various ingredients), negiyaki (green onion pancake), ikayaki (squid pancake), and other flour-based foods for your enjoyment. Counter seating is available.

    Tachibana is an Akashiyaki (round balls made from eggs, flour, etc.) restaurant located in Chuo Ward of Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. This popular shop has been featured in magazines and on TV. The menu refers to the food as “takoyaki” in the Kobe style. Served in a soup bowl on a stand, the akashiyaki is fluffy and soft. Dip it in the light-tasting mitsuba (Japanese parsley) soup stock to experience the elegant flavor and savory deliciousness of the “katsu-dako” (octopus). Two types of sauce are available at the tables, and takeout is offered as well.

    念願の明石焼を食べました。1オーダー10個ですが、軽いのでペロっと食べられます。ソースもありますが、薬味と出汁につけて食べるだけで十分に美味しいです。3人の高齢の女性店員さんたちもキビキビと対応をしていました。また三宮に行ったらぜひまたトライしたいです!

    Osaka Osakashi Abeno-ku Abenosuji 1-2-34
    This takoyaki (octopus balls) specialist is found near Abeno Harukas. It's a classic crispy outside springy interior takoyaki and has been previously included in the Kansai-area Michelin Guide. You can choose the amount and type of sauce at the shop-front window, and sauce options can be mixed from soy sauce, mayonnaise, aonori (dried green laver), and sesame oil. While the shop is take away only there is an eating space available at a second store nearby that the staff can direct you to.

    staff are very friendly & helpful while asking for direction as we were sort of lost some where some how .

    This takoyaki octopus dumpling stand is the most popular one in the Shinsekai area. The stand's takoyaki, cooked up on one of several dedicated griddles lined up in a row, is both reasonably priced and delicious. The stand has many fans who say that if you go to Shinsekai, you have to eat takoyaki here, and the area in front of the restaurant is always overflowing with customers eating its piping-hot takoyaki. The only item on the menu is an eight-piece set of takoyaki.

    So yummy. The best takoyaki octopus ball place in Osaka with reasonable price!! They’d cost double in Dotonbori. Do not miss if you ever visit Osaka!!

    Hyogo Sumoto-shi Nakagawaracho Atsuhama 725-1
    This takoyaki octopus dumpling restaurant is stated on National Route 28, a road which runs through Awaji Island north to south. Operated by the adjoining Kakihara Poultry Farm egg wholesaler, the restaurant serves hearty and filling takoyaki octopus dumplings. The restaurant's signature takoyaki is made with an abundance of eggs, resulting in exquisite treats that are wonderfully fluffy. Customers rave that the crisp texture of the sliced onions topping the restaurant's large onion takoyaki dumplings is addicting. The restaurant's karaage-style takoyaki dumplings have huge chunks of locally-caught octopus bursting out of them and delight with the fresh, innate chewy texture and flavor of the octopus.

    たまご屋さんのたこ焼きということもありたまごたっぷり!明石焼とたこ焼きの間のような味です。素材の味を感じる素朴であるが無性に食べたくなる味です。

    以前は1Fにあったので、搭乗前に使うには時間の調整が難しかったですが、リューアルされて保安場通過後になったので、使いやすくなりました。フードコートなので、食事をする席も店内のみならず座る場所があるところが良いです。 欠点は、8個で890円と高いところです。本店も確か周辺より高かった。

    銀だこはたまに利用します。 たこ焼きのメニューが多いので、悩む時がありますが、私はオーソドックスに普通のたこ焼きを購入する事が多いです。 タコが大きくてグッドです。
