Takosen for 500 yen is a senbei sandwich filled with sauce, mayonnaise, fried tempura bits, and 2 pieces of takoyaki. The takoyaki for 700 yen comes in a pack of 5, topped with sauce, mayonnaise, bonito flakes, seaweed, and chili powder. The takoyaki is slightly larger, with a rich and creamy broth inside, making it very delicious.

Asakusa Takoyaki Koromo Brothers is a cute shop in Asakusa that serves delicious takoyaki snacks. The shop is spacious, bright, and has a refreshing atmosphere. You can order one item for dining in. I visited on a rainy weekday at 12pm and there were only 4 customers ahead of me. The "Takosen" for 500 yen (tax included) has a crispy senbei with takoyaki sandwiched inside, which was delicious and perfect for a snack. The Kamaboko Anko for 450 yen (tax included) consisted of a chewy dough with sweet red bean paste and melted Camembert cheese, which was a great combination. I used to prefer anko butter or anko cream cheese, but the Camembert cheese was amazing. It was incredibly delicious, and I would love to visit again.

Today, I was too busy to have lunch and it's already 2:45 PM... I have plans to have dinner with friends later, so I wanted to have a light snack. I went to this store where there was a line of three people. I ordered the "Takosen" for 500 yen, which I had been curious about for a while. The "Takosen" is topped with mayonnaise and tempura flakes, sandwiched between two pieces of takoyaki. It has a shelf life of 3 minutes, and when eaten immediately, the crispy texture of the "Takosen" complements the soft and gooey texture of the takoyaki, making it delicious! As time passes, the "Takosen" becomes moist and the texture changes, but it is also delicious in a different way! It turned out to be a good snack. Delicious "Takosen", thank you for the meal!

"Wait for 3 minutes" Even that Colonel will wait for you to finish eating, here at "Asakusa Tako × Koromo Brothers" with their "Takosen". In the tourist spot of Asakusa, they are grilling the most adorable little octopus-faced girls. You might think it's just another touristy thing, focusing more on appearance than taste, and at 500 yen, it's just right. But, the intriguing part is the "3-minute expiration date". So, we immediately ordered from the cute girls and got our freshly made Takosen right after paying. We enjoyed it in the comfortably air-conditioned store. Oh, the takoyaki is bigger than I expected! Let's dig in! *nom nom* It's so hot!! We both leaned forward like in a comedy skit. We couldn't tell the temperature because of the Takosen guard, haha. After recovering, we took on the challenge again. As we ate, it was so hot and gooey. "Hey, isn't this takoyaki delicious?" "Yeah! The batter is totally different from elsewhere, right?" "...this, it's senbei... not takoyaki..." Haha. This takoyaki was so delicious that we should have split it in half for both of us, since we were eating in. By the way, we were taking so many pictures before eating that the 3-minute expiration date had long passed. It's a food blogger's dilemma to be distracted by taking photos. ===========

While walking around the Nakamise shopping street in Tokyo with Natu, we came across this unique octopus senbei and decided to try it. When we crushed it before eating, the takoyaki inside was fluffy, but the senbei quickly became crispy. However, the takoyaki itself was delicious, so it was still a good experience.

I wanted to try some food while walking around Asakusa, so I first stopped by a shop that sells flour-based dishes. I ordered takoyaki, which was delicious. I also tried takosen, which is takoyaki sandwiched between senbei rice crackers. The senbei, advertised as having a shelf life of 3 minutes, was surprisingly tasty. The combination of senbei and takoyaki was unique - it was like eating crispy takoyaki before the senbei got soggy. The takoyaki here disappears in your mouth so quickly that you might think it's a drinkable takoyaki. It was piping hot but incredibly delicious. Thank you for the meal.

After finishing my business in Omotesando, I finally fulfilled my wish of going on a food tour in Asakusa! I quickly listed up the restaurants I wanted to visit and went around trying them all! #KendoBoy #CollegeStudent #Weekend #HowToSpendWeekend #Tokyo #Asakusa #FoodTour #OctopusSenbei #OctopusCrackers #Takoyaki

I went there for the octopus senbei. Even though it said to eat within 3 minutes after the time limit, it was still delicious even after more than 3 minutes. At first, it was crispy like senbei, but as time passed, the senbei absorbed the moisture from the takoyaki, making it soft and a perfect match with the takoyaki. It was incredibly delicious.

On a night of receiving guests in Asakusa, I had a meeting of reflection and "one more drink" with him, and ended up wandering around Asakusa. I stumbled upon a new and unique restaurant, called "Asakusa Takoyaki Izakaya Koromo Brothers". Lately, there are many takoyaki izakayas popping up, right? From well-known establishments to lesser-known ones, indulging in carbs after drinking is a guilty pleasure, isn't it? Of course, once I entered, I had to start with this! The fluffy and creamy takoyaki was served first, and let me tell you, this is a must-have Osaka flavor! It's not commonly seen in Kanto, but ever since my boyfriend introduced me to this casual snack-like takoyaki in Kansai, I couldn't resist! The shrimp senbei is a bit tricky to eat... you might end up crushing it with your first bite (laughs). But the crispy texture, creamy interior, and the direct burst of mayonnaise and takoyaki flavor in your mouth make it a delicious treat. The fluffy and creamy takoyaki is just as expected, so delicious! It's so soft and tasty, it really reminds me of the Osaka style! Kanto may have some moist surfaces, but it's rare to find something as soft as this. And the dough is delicious...! It's hard to explain what makes it different, but the dough is so tasty that you can enjoy it like a drink! I couldn't eat much since it was our second stop (but we did drink and enjoy), but I definitely want to come back for this sinful flavor. The cute character of the restaurant suits my taste perfectly (￣∀￣)♪ It was a fun night of snacking, sipping, and then heading back home in a snap.

This is a popular takoyaki shop in Asakusa. The line is long, but they serve quickly so you can get your order surprisingly fast. While waiting in line, they hand out menus for you to choose your order, but for some reason, I wasn't given one. Maybe because I was dining alone? When I mentioned that I didn't receive a menu, the staff just chuckled. Oh well, let's move on. I ordered the takosen (400 yen) and ate it in the eat-in area at the back of the shop since eating while walking is not allowed. The takoyaki was so soft and delicious! I wish I had ordered more than just two. If I couldn't eat while walking, maybe I didn't need to get the takosen. I should have just had regular takoyaki. Thank you for the meal.

I ordered takosen (octopus senbei) from a popular shop where there was a long line. As a tourist from Osaka, I didn't have high expectations when I saw the sign that said "Osaka-style". However, when I took a bite, I was shocked. Personally, I like light flavors, but I really liked the balance of the umami from the broth and the light sauce of this takosen.

I was drawn to the octopus senbei with a 3-minute expiration date and decided to order it! The restaurant opened in October 2022, so the interior is clean and has a nice atmosphere where you can relax. The crispy texture of the octopus senbei and the soft and fluffy texture of the takoyaki were exquisite. I tried to eat it quickly because of the 3-minute expiration date, but it was impossible! They have a special offer where you can get takoyaki and a drink at a supporter price by following them on Instagram and liking their post!

The shop with a cute illustration on the curtain caught my attention. I was curious about the octopus senbei with a 3-minute expiration date, so I decided to enter. There were quite a few seats in the eat-in space, but more than half were already taken. I had to wait a bit for my order to be ready. The prices, including drinks, were on the higher side. The highball was weak. The octopus senbei had a 3-minute expiration date. As time passed, the crispy texture disappeared. Is the popularity of this shop due to its location in Asakusa, the opportunity for food exploration, the cute storefront?

When I came to Asakusa before, it was delicious so I came back again. Both times, there was a pretty long line and it took about 15 minutes to buy. It was about half takeout and half eat-in, with the eat-in tables almost full. Both the takoyaki and regular takosen were delicious! The sauce was firm and tasty. It's definitely better quality than cheaper places around. However, they are not crispy, but rather soft, so it may depend on personal preference.

New gourmet in Asakusa! "Takosenya" offers Osaka-style fluffy and creamy takoyaki. Each takosen contains a large piece of tender takoyaki, and they are incredibly delicious! It's perfect for a quick snack or for sharing due to its size. The dining space is spacious, and it's bustling as an izakaya at night. The takoyaki was so good that I couldn't resist getting some to go on my way home (^-^)

Asakusa Octopus Brothers Takosen ¥400. Expiration date 3 minutes. A fluffy and creamy octopus senbei combined with a crispy shrimp senbei, sandwiched with a creamy takoyaki. The sauce and mayo are the best. There is also an eat-in space, would love to try eating and drinking together. It was delicious.

While strolling in Asakusa, I came across an intriguing sign that said "Octopus Senbei, best consumed within 3 minutes!" There were about 10 people in line, but I decided to wait and try it out. I ordered the Octopus Senbei for 400 yen including tax. It was a senbei (rice cracker) with mayonnaise spread on top, and inside were two pieces of takoyaki. The senbei was crispy, while the takoyaki was soft and fluffy. It was a bit too hot to eat at first, but it turned out to be a really delicious snack!

I visited the shop around noon on a regular day. There was a long line, possibly because it was popular on social media. The system for lining up seemed a bit unclear. People who arrived after me were able to line up ahead of me, which was a bit disappointing. I ordered "takosen," which is a shrimp senbei with two soft octopus balls sandwiched in between. It was wrapped in paper, so it was easy to eat without getting your hands dirty. It does get heavy and the taste becomes stronger as it gets soggy, so I thought the recommended 3-minute consumption time was understandable. It's a sufficient amount for a light meal or snack.

Visited Tako-Tako in Asakusa, the new go-to spot in January 2023! They are open from 11:00 to 23:00 every day. We went around 13:00 on a weekday and there was no line, but as soon as we lined up, a queue formed quickly! The system is to order first before getting a seat. We ordered the Tako-Sen Drink Set S for 650 yen, which includes delicious octopus balls and a soft drink. The Osaka-style octopus balls were gooey and the senbei crackers were crispy, topped with tempura bits, sweet sauce, and mayonnaise. It was incredibly delicious! They also have a nice eat-in space, and it seems like it turns into a cozy bar at night. The seating has a nice open feel, which I liked during this season. I definitely want to take my friends from out of town here!

After drinking and eating at Kamiya Bar, I stumbled upon this new and clean restaurant while walking around. The place was lively and bustling. Of course, being a fan of octopus dishes, I decided to enjoy various octopus dishes as my main course. - Fluffy and creamy takoyaki 600 yen - Fluffy and creamy takoyaki with green onions topping 720 yen The takoyaki was incredibly soft and creamy, making it quite difficult to pick up with chopsticks. It was a unique twist from the usual crispy exterior and creamy interior, but still delicious. - Takobutsu (octopus balls) 580 yen - Fried octopus 530 yen - Sauce yakisoba 780 yen The Osaka specialty sauce yakisoba was made with thick noodles coated in a rich sauce, which was absolutely irresistible. Mixing in a raw egg made it even more delicious. The pricing at this neo-popular tavern is a bit on the higher side. It's interesting that you can get a discount if you follow them on Instagram or order the same drink in the same glass. Going all out can get expensive, so it's better to just stop by for a light meal.
