I went on a business trip to Osaka and decided to at least have some takoyaki. The fluffy and creamy takoyaki, which is hard to find in Kanto, was amazing. If I had to say one thing, it would be great if they poured more sauce on it. It's really convenient to be able to eat it while waiting for the Shinkansen!

I visited on a weekday morning. The eat-in area is small but available. I was able to enter smoothly this time. The takoyaki was very creamy and personally, I think it might be the best in Osaka so far! The staff were friendly and the sauce was delicious too. ^_^

I came to Osaka on a business trip and had okonomiyaki! Next, I want to have takoyaki! But I don't have much time... It's tough to go out in this hot weather to look for a place... So, I searched on Tabelog at Shin-Osaka Station and found this place. They have a seating area inside where you can sit down and enjoy your meal. Since I wanted to have beer as well, I was delighted to find out they offer a set menu with beer (1,100 yen)! It even comes with a side of pickled vegetables! What a great set! You can choose two different flavors of takoyaki! I chose the classic sauce flavor and the recommended salt flavor! The takoyaki had a crispy outer layer and a creamy, hot inside! It had a strong dashi flavor and was delicious! I was surprised by the salt flavor! It had a refreshing taste with a hint of saltiness that paired well with the beer! When you want something light, this is much better than eating with ponzu sauce! I'm glad I got to have takoyaki at the end of my business trip in Osaka!

In the end, I decided to have takoyaki in Osaka. I searched for a takoyaki shop where I could quickly eat before boarding the Shinkansen, and I found "Takoyaki Douraku Wanaka Shin-Osaka" shop. It was quite crowded, but you order while waiting in line and then find a seat. Luckily, a seat opened up right in front of the register, so I was able to sit down easily. They had a set menu of takoyaki and beer, but since the portion was small, I ordered 8 pieces of takoyaki and a draft beer. You can choose between two flavors for the takoyaki seasoning, and I chose sauce and soy sauce. In less than 5 minutes, my order arrived. Starting with the sauce-flavored takoyaki... The outside was crispy, the inside was soft and hot, and it was delicious! This is the true taste of Osaka takoyaki. Next was the soy sauce flavor. It had a savory soy sauce aroma and a different flavor, but the crispy, soft texture was still excellent. Of course, it paired well with beer. The Shinkansen departure time was approaching, so even though it was piping hot, I devoured the takoyaki and beer in no time. It was the perfect place for a quick meal before boarding the Shinkansen. Thank you for the meal!

On this scorching hot day, the inside of the shop is hot. The takoyaki is piping hot, of course. I ended up sweating, but I don't care. I just want to dive into this takoyaki. Nowadays, there's the option for takeout... but I still prefer eating inside the shop. The hot takoyaki reveals the deliciousness of the batter and the octopus.

When you come to Osaka, you must try takoyaki. Located inside JR Shin-Osaka Station, it's a convenient location for travelers. I ordered the "6-piece takoyaki with sauce," but they also have an 8-piece option. The takoyaki was delicious with a fluffy texture and a gooey inside. The green onions and bonito flakes added a nice touch. I had it as a light snack and was satisfied.

I visited Takoyaki Douraku Wanaka-san on the 2nd floor of Shin-Osaka Station. I ordered takoyaki (8 pieces for 600 yen) and it was quite fluffy and creamy, with a rare texture. As expected, the takoyaki from Osaka was really delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I wandered around wanting to eat takoyaki and ended up here. It's a famous shop called Wanaka at Shin-Osaka Station. There was a small line in front of the shop. The set of freshly baked takoyaki and octopus rice costs 1500 yen. It's okay, I guess. It tastes similar to the takoyaki served at the hotel's free breakfast. It's delicious, but it's best not to be too confident.

I arrived at Shin-Osaka Station and was looking for lunch. I found a takoyaki restaurant called "Wanaka" that I had seen on Tabelog, so I decided to check it out. I discovered a set called "Takosen" which includes takoyaki and shrimp senbei, which seemed like a good option as it wouldn't upset my stomach. The price was reasonable, so I ordered it along with a cider to prevent the senbei from sticking. The takoyaki was soft and I had to eat it by crushing it. It seemed like it would become quite moist after some time. Overall, it was a nice snack. Thank you for the meal.

Takoyaki (8 pieces) for 600 yen. Consistently delicious. When I go back home, it's a tradition to eat takoyaki at "Wanaka" or "Kukuru". "Kukuru" has more seats, so it's better for groups. I used to not think much of it, but eating 8 pieces alone can get a bit boring.

I love takoyaki, and when I first moved to Osaka, the first thing I did was go on a takoyaki tour. My favorite place is "Wanaka." The shop in Namba is famous, but it's always crowded and there's a long wait, so I now prefer to go to their store on the 2nd floor of Shin-Osaka Station (one floor below the Shinkansen platform). Since it's inside the station, there's no need to worry about the weather, and it's relatively clean and not as crowded (depending on the time of day). The most popular flavor is with sauce, but my favorite is the salt flavor cooked in a pot. It's crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, really delicious. If you want to try different flavors, I recommend ordering the large size, which lets you enjoy three (or sometimes four) different flavors at once.

It's generally crowded, but convenient as it's located inside Shin-Osaka Station. They offer a variety of soft-style takoyaki to choose from. The takosen is delicious and highly recommended! You can also add toppings like green onions and cheese, so you can enjoy without getting bored.

The takoyaki at Wanaka is a must-try with salt, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes! The batter is flavorful with dashi, crispy in some parts, which is great. I think it's the most delicious takoyaki I've had at a restaurant in Osaka. It's also convenient to sit down and eat quickly before getting on the Shinkansen.

I received this before boarding the Shinkansen (^^) It was recommended by a friend who lives in Osaka, and it was really delicious! I also had takoyaki at another shop, and that was also delicious. I will definitely visit again if I have the chance!

The food and beverage options at Shin-Osaka Station have changed over the years. In the past, I remember the delicious food alley on the first floor being the main attraction, but now there is a restaurant street on the second floor. As I walked around, I found a takoyaki shop. There wasn't much of a line, so I decided to try Osaka's famous dish. I ordered 12 pieces of takoyaki for 850 yen and a draft beer for 500 yen. I chose the takoyaki without mayonnaise, just with sauce, because I wanted to taste it in a simple way. I got a boat-shaped plate of freshly baked takoyaki - the takoyaki had a perfect balance of tenderness and crispiness, making it easy to pick up with a skewer. Despite knowing it was hot, I couldn't resist and took a bite. The chewy octopus had a savory flavor, complemented by the sweet sauce and the aroma of bonito flakes. I washed it down with the draft beer in a plastic cup, giving it a street food vibe. I resisted the temptation for another beer and headed home. Was it delicious? Thank you for the meal - Full satisfaction!

I had some takoyaki at "Takoyaki Douraku Wanaka" inside Shin-Osaka Station before heading back from my business trip. I ordered the beer set, and whenever I come to Osaka for business, I always end up eating takoyaki before returning to Kanagawa. I really like Wanaka because you can easily enjoy delicious takoyaki. I envy people from Osaka too much. #Takoyaki #TakoyakiDourakuWanaka #Osaka #ShinOsaka #OsakaGourmet #BusinessTrip #Kansai #KansaiGourmet #Konomono #Gourmet #WantToConnectWithGourmetLovers #Beer #BusinessTripReturn #Salaryman #Shinkansen #GourmetGirls #GourmetInstagram #GourmetClub

Hello everyone, I'm heading to Osaka for a live event. I can't calm down until I join, but my eating schedule is all set. I'll be meeting up with my friend at the "Takoyaki Douraku Wanaka Shin-Osaka Station" before the show. Even though I've been to Osaka many times, I don't usually eat takoyaki or okonomiyaki. I feel like I'm missing out if I eat too much and end up feeling full. But this time, it's my friend's request, so I'm going along with it. We ordered an 8-piece takoyaki with sauce for 600 yen. We enjoyed it at a table near the entrance. The takoyaki was so soft that we couldn't pick it up with a skewer. It was hot and the aroma of bonito flakes was lovely. When we took a bite, the dashi flavor was rich and the texture was creamy. We looked at each other and smiled. We both thought, "Were takoyaki always this delicious?" The octopus wasn't very big, but the batter was tasty. It's no wonder it's a famous local shop! I'm sorry, takoyaki. Thank you, takoyaki. It was a delicious meal.

After returning from a business trip, I had a quick drink. I had some time before catching the Shinkansen at Shin-Osaka Station, so I had a light drink with a draft beer set. It was delicious. The taste is consistently reliable. I usually go to the food court on the B2 floor, but it was closed for renovations, so I had this encounter on the B1 floor.

The restaurant has cheerful staff and you can enjoy takoyaki in a pleasant atmosphere. Despite being located in the New Osaka Station, the staff greets customers warmly and provides attentive service. The interior of the restaurant is a bit small but the takoyaki is delicious. Many customers opt for takeout. There are a lot of female customers and the restaurant has a clean and user-friendly atmosphere. The takoyaki balls are slightly small but they have a rich flavor. I would like to try the takoyaki with various toppings next time as they have a wide selection. It was delicious.

Kumauma Log 3.7‍❄️ Today, I was in Shin-Osaka in the morning, and for lunch, I decided to go for something light at "Takoyaki Do-Raku Wanaka Shin-Osaka Station." There was quite a line of tourists, but the turnover was fast, so I got in easily. I ordered the "Ooiri," which allows you to enjoy three different types of takoyaki in one plate. It was super delicious~‍❄️ #Takoyaki #Takoyaki #Octopus #Wanaka Takoyaki #Wanaka #Osaka #Osaka Gourmet #Osaka Takoyaki #Shin-Osaka #Shin-Osaka Gourmet #Shin-Osaka Station #Shin-Osaka Station Gourmet #Shin-Osaka Station Premises #Ooiri
