What to expect

Do you know what takoyaki is? Here, you can experience grilling and eating takoyaki yourself! Takoyaki is made by pouring flour batter made from water and eggs into a round hole in a griddle, then placing a chopped octopus inside and grilling it into a round shape. The finished takoyaki is placed on a plate and served hot and delicious. The basic style of takoyaki is to dip it in dried bonito flakes, aonori (green laver), sauce, or mayonnaise. Takoyaki is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Takoyaki is easy to eat and goes well with beer. The takoyaki experience ends when you finish eating. The experience takes about one hour. *Please inform the staff of your reservation for the experience when you come to the restaurant. *If a staff member who is not fluent in English is responding, we will use a translation machine. Thank you for understanding. *Be sure to read the experience details and additional information.
