I had never tried takoyaki before, but when friends from Kanto came to visit, we went to this place because there were a lot of us. We ordered various types of takoyaki, and surprisingly, the simple plain dashi takoyaki was delicious, so we enjoyed all of them. I especially liked the truffle salt flavor. The Kanto locals enjoyed the dashimaki with pickled ginger. We were short on time, so we mainly had takoyaki, but it seems like there are other Osaka gourmet foods to enjoy as well.

We went on a trip to Osaka with four friends and arrived in the morning after driving through the night. We walked to Shinsaibashi to find a takoyaki shop that was open from noon. We found a shop called Kurowa in Dotonbori that was making takoyaki outside in the morning. We were lucky to find it open and sat at a table with a hot plate. We ordered a set of three different takoyaki flavors, and the plum one was especially delicious. We also had okonomiyaki and kushikatsu on the menu, but we were too full to try them. The takoyaki was hot and gooey, a must-try in Osaka. We will definitely come back again. Thank you for the meal.

Four friends were in Osaka and couldn't decide what to eat, but Takoyaki was the obvious choice! They wandered around Dotonbori and unanimously chose a shop where they could eat inside. The shop was located about a 5-minute walk from Namba Station on the Midosuji Subway Line. The seating was at a table with a teppanyaki grill, and they were served promptly. They ordered a set of 9 assorted Takoyaki balls with toppings like grated radish ponzu mayo, plum shiso, and salt lemon. The plum shiso Takoyaki was especially delicious. The Takoyaki had a crispy exterior and a soft, creamy interior. Overall, they were very satisfied with the Takoyaki in Dotonbori.

I arrived at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday and was seated immediately, but the restaurant was almost full. The best dish I had this time was the "Garlic Yakisoba with Mushrooms and Bacon." The noodles were chewy and incredibly delicious! I will definitely have it again. The limited-time dish "Takoyaki with Grated Yam" was also amazing! I hope they make it a regular menu item. Everything was delicious just like in the photos - I love it, Creo!

I wanted to fully enjoy Osaka gourmet when I visited Osaka on a business trip. Since I am originally from Osaka, I know various restaurants, but this place has a good selection of izakaya dishes and Osaka gourmet, making it very convenient. I enjoyed dishes like dotenabe, takoyaki, and okonomiyaki as accompaniments to my drinks.

I went to an izakaya where you can eat takoyaki, recommended by an acquaintance, and I enjoyed the takoyaki there. Honestly, I don't know which place has the best takoyaki. The takoyaki and other dishes were delicious, so it was great to have everything in one place.

When you come to Osaka, this is the place for takoyaki! They have been in business for 16 years in Dotonbori! Located next to Kanidouraku in Dotonbori, right next to the kushikatsu shop!! There are always so many people lining up that I had never been inside before - it's a big takoyaki shop! It's called "Takoyaki Sakaba," and the second floor has a pub-like atmosphere. It's spacious! And delicious♪ They serve dishes like my mom's beef tendon stew, sashimi, takoyaki, stir-fried water spinach, kushikatsu, yakisoba, kimbap... you can taste all the Osaka specialties at once♪ Wow! Everything is so delicious! With all-you-can-drink options, tax-included courses for 3780 yen, 4000 yen, 5500 yen, and the "Kureowl Beginner Set" with one drink and 10 dishes for 2750 yen♪ The Kureowl takoyaki (half-size, truffle, sauce, dashi soy sauce - one each) is made by blending seven types of flour and making the batter as thin as possible, which is a unique feature that makes it delicious even when cold♪ Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside! A must-try for takoyaki lovers in Osaka♪ They cook takoyaki, okonomiyaki, negiyaki, and yakisoba at their central kitchen on the 5th floor and flash-freeze them at -40°C so you can enjoy the original taste at home. I had the chance to meet the founder's mother and son! The mother has so much vitality and is cool, and the son's smile is wonderful♪ In addition to Kureowl Dotonbori store, Kyobashi Minami exit store, Shinkyobashi store, Hozoji Hondori store, and Dozansaka 1-chome store, they also operate the 0°C Aged Steak main store, Dotonbori Butakushi Sachi, and the popular Izakaya Shu. There are many inbound customers, and the vibrant takoyaki performance in front of the store is amazing! The inbound customers look like they are having a great time! I will definitely go back there♪ Instagram TikTok@nanayakko https://www.instagram.com/nanayakko/?hl=en

I went to Senda Shoten, a restaurant located a 6-minute walk from Osaka's Morinomiya station, known for their beef hormone and beef tongue dishes. Originally from Nara, they recently opened a branch in Osaka. The place was crowded but we were seated after a short wait. I was surprised by the low prices on the menu, but the portions were generous. The beef tongue was served in a heaping portion. We also ordered the top grade rib, top grade loin, and the special cut, all of which had amazing marbling. We tried the Kai No Mi, a rare cut, and it had a perfect balance of lean meat and marbling. The assorted hormone platter was a hit. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience! Thank you for the delicious meal!

Outside crispy, inside creamy Osaka-style takoyaki. Despite offering other items like kushikatsu, okonomiyaki, and steak, this place does not fall short compared to takoyaki specialty shops. The takoyaki here is mild and easy to eat, attracting many female customers with its cute flags and easy-to-eat size. In the future, we may see this chain, following in the footsteps of "Kukuru," becoming more common nationwide!

I tried various dishes like Doteni and creative takoyaki. They also have mega-sized drinks, which are perfect for when you want to drink a lot. The serving speed might be slow due to the large size of the dishes, so it's best to go with plenty of time to spare.

⭐️Watching the skilled hands cooking freshly made takoyaki right in front of me made me feel the true essence of Osaka. The takoyaki, with a perfect blend of sauce and a firm piece of octopus, had a sweet and savory flavor enhanced by the aroma of bonito flakes.⭐️Near Ebisu Bridge, there are so many takoyaki shops crowded together.【Order】●Standard Flavor 6 pieces for 550 yenThe sauce was sweet and savory, with a special original broth. The surface was not too crispy, but the inside was incredibly creamy! The blend of broth in the batter was delicious. Mayonnaise and bonito flakes were also included, making it the best choice in my opinion.※They also had a creative gourmet series, but I chose the standard option.【Access】1-6-4 Dotonbori, Chuo-ku, Osaka City☎️050-5590-34415-minute walk from Namba StationIf you want to eat takoyaki, the area near Ebisu Bridge has a huge selection of takoyaki shops. The unique blend of broth in the batter was delicious. Enjoy your meal, everyone! (^^)

Visited around 9:30 pm on Sunday. There were a few people waiting in line, and I waited for about 20 minutes before entering the store. Orders were placed via a QR code on a smartphone for a self-ordering system. Personally, I liked being able to order at my own pace without worrying about the busy staff. In addition to the takoyaki, we also ordered several izakaya dishes, all of which were delicious.

When walking in Dotonbori, you'll be greeted by a delicious smell♡ If you want to take out takoyaki, you can order at the storefront. If you head downstairs, there are table seats where you can enjoy takoyaki, doteyaki, and other teppanyaki dishes. They also serve alcohol, so you might find yourself ordering a beer even during the day♪ The takoyaki was freshly made and delicious⸌⍤⃝⸍ 8 pieces (4 with sauce & 4 with dashi soy sauce) for ¥680. I asked for less green laver on top (*^^*) A small draft beer costs ¥380.

The customer service was provided by a foreigner and was not the typical unfriendly type, but rather very welcoming. The takoyaki was delicious, with a soft and fluffy texture. However, since it was the fourth takoyaki of the day, the customer felt that the sauce was a bit tangy. In Hokkaido, the sauce tends to be on the sweeter side, while in Osaka, it seems to have a slightly stronger acidity. The customer enjoyed the takoyaki and would like to revisit this restaurant when they come back to Osaka.

I didn't know much about takoyaki, but when I went to Osaka, I wanted to try it, so I came in here because they were calling in customers. I ordered a half portion of takoyaki with salt and sauce flavors, as well as okonomiyaki. They cook everything for you, so you don't have to do any cooking, which is very convenient! The takoyaki was hot and the inside was creamy and very delicious. I tried takoyaki at other places later, but I think this place was the best and my favorite. It depends on personal preference, but I like this place. The okonomiyaki was also delicious. If I have the chance to go to Osaka again, I would like to eat here.

We went on a trip to Osaka with important friends we have known for 10 years. Initially, we planned to go to a famous kushikatsu restaurant in Shinsaibashi, but the line was too long! We thought it was silly to wait in line when we came all the way for a trip, so we decided to visit Kureouru, a place where you can enjoy various Osaka dishes such as takoyaki, kushikatsu, and okonomiyaki. We ordered various takoyaki (salt, mentaiko cheese, garlic) as well as kushikatsu and okonomiyaki. We had a great time reuniting with our Osaka food buddies and the drinking party was so enjoyable that we only managed to take one photo ^^; Kureouru is a place where you can order using your smartphone by scanning a QR code, which is very modern. The restaurant was very crowded, but we were lucky to sit by the window where we could enjoy the night view of the Dotonbori River. We didn't want to overdo it at the first place and miss out on bar hopping, so we ate and drank moderately before leaving the restaurant. Thank you for the delicious meal!

- Buta Tamago (pork and egg) - Takoyaki 3 kinds assortment (lemon salt, ponzu mayo, plum and shiso) - Kushikatsu (beef, potato cheese) They wanted to try the popular okonomiyaki in Dotonbori, so they chose this place where they can also have takoyaki and kushikatsu. The okonomiyaki here is different from the ones often seen in Kanto, it's more like a pancake with lots of vegetables in the batter, which makes it delicious. Among the various takoyaki options, the lemon salt was the best.

Dotonbori is full of foreign tourists and school trip students. I wanted to eat takoyaki, so I looked around at various shops with long lines. Each shop had different sizes and prices. It was interesting to see! This time, I went to this shop! The outside was crispy and the inside was creamy. The flag is also quite cute, isn't it? 😂

I visited the popular restaurant "Creole Dotonbori" where you can enjoy takoyaki and okonomiyaki. I recommend trying the okonomiyaki or negiyaki over the takoyaki. The okonomiyaki and negiyaki have a great taste, texture, and satisfying bite. The takoyaki, on the other hand, is large with plenty of sauce and offers various flavors, but the octopus inside is quite small and gets lost in the batter, so those looking for a chewy octopus texture might find it lacking. However, the okonomiyaki and negiyaki were delicious, with a special batter that was satisfyingly tasty. [Menu items received] - Pork and green onion okonomiyaki (rich sauce) 850 yen - Okonomiyaki and takoyaki 8 pieces 680 yen - Rich sauce & special soy sauce

I had some time before my evening plans, so I decided to have a drink in the bright daylight and went to eat something Osaka-style. There was a long line in Dotonbori, but I was prepared to wait. The takoyaki and grilled skewers were delicious, but the dotenabe (pork and vegetable stew) was also really good! It went well with alcohol. Waiting in line was worth it. This time, I just had a quick drink, so next time I want to try okonomiyaki as well.
