Tako Hachi Dotonbori Main Store

This shop, which has been serving Osaka's soul food, takoyaki, since its founding, uses copper plates for cooking, and skilled chefs create takoyaki that are crispy on the outside and meltingly soft on the inside. The ingredients are carefully chosen, including natural octopus fed on shrimp, crab, and shellfish, cut into satisfyingly large pieces. The secret Soy sauce based batter offers a light yet rich flavor that enhances the deliciousness of the takoyaki.

In addition to takoyaki, the shop offers various dishes cooked on a griddle. These include okonomiyaki made with flour, yam, and cabbage, then cooked to a fluffy finish; yakisoba with noodles cooked al dente mixed with an original sauce blend; and kushikatsu, which includes beef, shrimp, and pork coated in batter and deep-fried until crispy. These are all must-try dishes when visiting Osaka.

With takeaway available and seating from the first to the third floor, you can take your time enjoying Osaka's flour-based dishes.
