Try their classic takoyaki, known for its crispy exterior, moist interior, and high-quality Madako octopus.

In their own words: “The first one is Takohachi Sohonten. This takoyaki shop has been around since 1979. It is so popular that people line up to get one in at lunch time. We ordered the most popular takoyaki at this shop. It is a classic takoyaki topped with sauce, mayonnaise, dried bonito flakes and seaweed. It has a nice smell of dried bonito flakes. They add soy sauce and Japanese soup stock to the dough of takoyaki. The outside has a nice crispy texture. The inside of the dough is very moist. The store uses a high class octopus called Madako.”
