Takuzo

Diners have praised Takuzo’s takoyaki for its crisp exterior and soft, molten centre. Sauce and mayonnaise is a popular choice, while salt and mayonnaise offers a different option. One diner also enjoyed the takoyaki plain, making it worth trying both with and without a topping. Portions come in several sizes, from 6 pieces for 450 yen to 12 pieces for 600 yen, so you can choose whether to have a light snack or a more substantial serving.

Add yakisoba for a fuller meal. A serving costs 500 yen, with a fried egg available for an extra 100 yen. Diners who have tried both the takoyaki and yakisoba in the restaurant have enjoyed the two dishes. The menu also includes small plates such as tako-butsu (octopus sashimi), octopus with garlic and lotus root with cheese—good options to share with drinks in the evening.

The Tennoji-cho Minami branch offers both dine-in and takeaway. One visitor mentioned eating at the counter. It is open from 12:00 to 22:30, and closed on Thursdays.
