Returning from a business trip in Osaka, I had only about an hour before catching my Shinkansen train, so I quickly stopped by this restaurant that I had always seen the name of in the souvenir corner. It was my first time eating at the actual store. I was prepared to pay a bit more, so I ordered the Akashiyaki and beer set, as well as the Doteni. The Akashiyaki had a slightly strong seasoning, but it had a rich flavor that was just right for my tired body. The Doteni had a Nagoya-style taste to it, but it went well with the beer. The staff's service and attentiveness were excellent, making my meal very enjoyable.

My first business trip to Osaka this month. After having some light kushikatsu and drinks with clients in Shin-Osaka, I visited Takomasa for akashiyaki and takoyaki with my colleagues. It was my first time there, but it was delicious and I especially liked the casual dining atmosphere!

I was initially skeptical of the common equation "Osaka = takoyaki," but recently I have come to agree that Osaka truly is synonymous with takoyaki. Every time I visit Osaka, I make sure to enjoy some takoyaki. A local colleague from Osaka taught me that takoyaki is also delicious when slightly cooled down after being taken out. I purchased some at Shin-Osaka Station and enjoyed them at my hotel in Honmachi. I realized that the unique taste of slightly cooled takoyaki, which allows you to take a big bite in one go, is different from the hot ones. As for the flavor, I wonder if it's soy sauce-based seasoning? I couldn't taste the soy sauce when I topped it with sauce and mayonnaise. Nevertheless, it's delicious. I think I'm hooked on takoyaki takeout.

I love tamagoyaki (Akashiyaki) and was looking for a delicious place to eat in Osaka. I visited this place for the first time during lunchtime, hoping to avoid the line. I was shocked when I saw the menu - 8 pieces for 1100 yen. It was quite expensive. I was willing to pay if it was delicious, but honestly, it wasn't. While waiting for my order, I noticed a woman at the next table who was eating regular takoyaki. She left 2 out of 6 pieces uneaten. I wondered why, but then I tried a bite and realized it tasted bad - powdery and unpleasant. Maybe she just couldn't finish them, but I won't be going back and won't recommend it to my friends. The service was also poor, they didn't even know how to carry dishes properly.

There is a takoyaki shop in the station area. It is always crowded with tourists. I visited in the early evening on a weekday and was lucky enough to enter without waiting in line. The takoyaki and akashiyaki were both delicious with a chewy texture. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but it's a convenient location for a quick stop, so it's understandable.

If you're from Osaka, you definitely know the shop Takomasa. I must have seen their commercials at least 10,000 times in my childhood. I used to visit occasionally when I moved to Tokyo and came back to Osaka, so I decided to visit again after a long time. The conclusion is, it's not as delicious as I remembered. It's like there's no flavor, just bland takoyaki, and the prices are high. Takoyaki is my favorite food, so it's even more disappointing. I should have gone to my favorite takoyaki shop near Osaka Station... The staff was also unfriendly, and there's nothing particularly praiseworthy about it.

I tried Takoyaki from Takomasa at Shin-Osaka Station for the first time in a while. I ordered the regular 8-piece set and ate it right away. The outside was soft and the inside was gooey, which was really good. The price was a bit high considering the location. If you want to enjoy takoyaki casually at Shin-Osaka Station, this is a good option. Just be careful because it takes 10-15 minutes to cook, so watch your Shinkansen departure time!

When it comes to Osaka, you must try takoyaki! According to a taxi driver, if you want takoyaki, go to Takomasa or Kawanaka. So, I went to Takomasa. In addition to takoyaki, you can also enjoy Akashiyaki! And I had some doteni and a highball to relax. Just with this, I felt like I was able to fully enjoy Osaka.

Visited while waiting for the Shinkansen. Very convenient as it is located inside Arde. They also offer takeout. The restaurant was full of people with suitcases. Akashiyaki for 900 yen and half-size takoyaki for 850 yen. The Akashiyaki was fluffy and delicious. The takoyaki had green onions and sauce mayo on top. Thank you for the meal.

The takoyaki exceeded my expectations with its flavorful batter. I tried takoyaki senbei, sauce takoyaki, akashiyaki, and dotenabe. Takoyaki senbei is a great snack to enjoy with beer or a highball. The sauce takoyaki was surprisingly delicious and I would definitely order it again. The dotenabe was also very tasty, but quite rich so it made me crave some plain rice. As for the akashiyaki, it was okay but not something I would order again.

I decided to have a drink at Takomasa in Shin-Osaka Station. The charm of this place is that they offer a set of Akashiyaki and beer. It's like a casual drinking set where you can enjoy hot Akashiyaki while drinking beer. Of course, the beer runs out quickly, so another glass!

When you come to Osaka, you have to try the authentic "takoyaki"! I had the "Tipsy Set" which includes 6 pieces of takoyaki, takoyaki-flavored rice crackers, and draft beer. The takoyaki comes with soy sauce and green onions, 3 pieces each. You can also add sauce and mayonnaise to your liking. The rice crackers are packed with the delicious flavor of takoyaki and go perfectly with the draft beer. It was delicious!

During a business trip to Osaka, I wanted to eat takoyaki, so I went to Takomasa at Shin-Osaka Station. There were about 5 people in line, but I entered the store after waiting for 10 minutes. I ordered negi takoyaki. The takoyaki arrived in 5 minutes. The outside was not crispy, but the inside was soft and filled with flavorful broth, making it very delicious to eat.

I stopped by the store at Shin-Osaka Station before 6:00 pm on Monday after a business trip. There was no line, and I was able to order quickly. The taste was just like regular takoyaki, but the pickled ginger had a strong kick to it, which made it different from regular takoyaki. I would like to come back again.

On the second floor of Shin-Osaka Station, there are several food establishments, including Takomasa and Wakana for takoyaki. Both offer dine-in and takeout options. I tried Takomasa, where I had takoyaki and akashiyaki. They also offer sets with alcohol. The takoyaki was a bit on the pricey side at 800 yen for 8 pieces, but it was worth it. The takoyaki was generously topped with sauce and bonito flakes. The order was ready in just 5 minutes, which was convenient when in a hurry. The takoyaki was hot and had a soft exterior, not crispy, with a fluffy and creamy inside. The added pickled ginger gave it a nice kick!

I wandered outside the station gates in search of my last meal in Osaka. I decided to go with the classic choice of flour-based dishes and settled on the reliable Takomasa. Although in Osaka, I was drawn to Akashiyaki, so I ordered a set of 3 Takoyaki with an extra serving of Akashiyaki. It was a delightful addition for someone like me who enjoys trying a variety of foods. The taste was consistent as always, with the Takoyaki being crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside - just the way I like it! The Akashiyaki was fluffy and paired perfectly with the broth. I devoured it all in no time. They also sell souvenirs at the store, which was convenient.

I entered because I didn't have much time and it seemed like I could eat right away. I didn't have a good impression of takoyaki, but this time, it didn't feel raw like before, and the flavor of the broth was well blended. The balance with the mild sauce was very delicious. Even though there was no steam rising, it was so hot that I thought it was like lava when I put one in my mouth.

I have had frozen food a few times while waiting for the Shinkansen, but this was my first time eating in the store. I wanted to try Akashiyaki, so I ordered it. It was nice that you can pour the broth yourself onto the hot dish. The takoyaki batter was quite firm. At famous takoyaki shops, the takoyaki is a bit hard, but still tasty, although it feels a bit pricey. Even though there was a line, the turnover rate at the store was fast, so I didn't have to wait too long to get a seat, which was good. Taste: 3.5, Atmosphere: 3, Value for money: 3, Service: 3, Menu variety: 3

Delicious!! The taste makes me want to go back again. I tried mentaiko takoyaki, doteyaki, and soup takoyaki (not sure about the name). Among them, I highly recommend the soup takoyaki. Doteyaki was also delicious, especially the beef tendons, I want to try it at a different restaurant as well.

Akashiyaki and Negi Takoyaki. The batter was fluffy and delicious. I had thought Akashiyaki wasn't that great when I tried it before, so I had been avoiding it, but this time when I tried it again after a while, it was super delicious, so maybe it depends on the restaurant. The takoyaki was consistently delicious!!!
