Taihei~Koshoku Foods~Kashimaya Tofu Shop~and then Tonkatsu Toyochan (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑ I visited here 10 years ago. And I rated it a tough 2.5 points (>_<) Back then, the standard was 3.0 points, but everyone is working hard, so now the standard is 3.6 points. This time, I bought 12 takoyaki for 400 yen. I ate them while they were still warm at home, and I was surprised by how big the octopus was!! There was no mayonnaise on top, and it was a small, old-fashioned type, but it was delicious (´ω｀) Thank you for the meal (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

I visited "Toyochan," a place I was curious about. The restaurant is always crowded, but this time I finally got to try it. There were four women working inside. I ordered the "Butatama" and "Modanyaki." The Butatama was 300 yen and the Modanyaki was 400 yen. The flavors were nostalgic and reminded me of my childhood. I would like to visit this restaurant again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

For lunch today, I decided to get takeout. It was a support lunch from a local shop in Sakai. I bought "okonomiyaki (pork and squid) & yakisoba" from a shop called "Toyochan" located near Asakayama Station on the Nankai Koya Line, and enjoyed it at home with my family. Toyochan is a takeout-only okonomiyaki and takoyaki shop. Their menu includes okonomiyaki with pork and squid, modern okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and takoyaki. The best thing about this shop is definitely the affordability. The okonomiyaki and yakisoba are 250 yen, the modern okonomiyaki is 350 yen, and the takoyaki is 200 yen for 8 pieces. Not only are they cheap, but the taste is also guaranteed. The cost performance is excellent. The yakisoba and okonomiyaki from Toyochan were so delicious!

I didn't have time, so I had a ready-made okonomiyaki. Now they have pork okonomiyaki and takoyaki ready to go, so I bought them immediately. Pork okonomiyaki x2 for 250 yen each, takoyaki x12 for 300 yen - cheap! The taste reminds me of street stall okonomiyaki, it feels nostalgic. It's great when you're short on time.

I have been eating here for over 30 years! It's my soul food. It used to be located in a shopping street, and I would go there to buy takoyaki with my pocket money. I love the sweet sauce they use here, and the cost performance is excellent. Even now, when I feel like eating it or when I get a little hungry, I go there to buy some. I hope this place stays around forever.

Toyochan is a takeout-only okonomiyaki and takoyaki shop near Asakayama Station on the Nankai Electric Railway. It has been in business for about 25 years. I visited the shop for the first time in a while and it was busy with regular customers buying okonomiyaki and takoyaki for lunch. The prices are very reasonable, with modern yaki with egg costing 350 yen, squid with egg, pork with egg, yakisoba costing 250 yen, and 7 takoyaki for 100 yen. The owners, a couple in their 60s and their two daughters, were busy cooking the dishes. I decided to buy 300 yen worth of takoyaki, which turned out to be soft and delicious, although lacking seaweed and bonito flakes. Each takoyaki had a whole piece of octopus inside, which was satisfying to eat. The okonomiyaki was ready for takeout, and I recommend stopping by on your way back from the Asakayama Josui Water Purification Plant where the azalea festival is currently being held.

On this day, Boutan took a day off from work due to some household errands. He rode his bicycle around Osaka city and Sakai city, running errands in various places. As it was nearing lunchtime, he was thinking about where to have lunch when he saw a crowd gathering at a certain shop, from which a sweet and fragrant sauce smell was emanating. The moment he saw the crowd, he was convinced that this shop was "delicious" and decided that this would be his lunch for the day. So, today's restaurant is "Toyochan" in Kagaoka, Sakai City. "Toyochan" is a takeout-only okonomiyaki shop located in a shopping street extending south from Asakayama Station on the Nankai Koya Line. The menu is simple, consisting of "ika tamago-iri" for 250 yen, "buta tamago-iri" for 250 yen, "yakisoba" for 250 yen, "modern-yaki tamago-iri" for 350 yen, and "takoyaki" 7 pieces for 100 yen. Due to the reasonable prices, customers were constantly coming in to buy. Some customers were seen leaving with two plastic bags filled with okonomiyaki. Observing other customers' orders, it seemed that "buta tamago-iri" for 250 yen was the most popular, so Boutan ordered that along with "yakisoba" for 250 yen, totaling 500 yen! The okonomiyaki was cooked one after another as customers seeking the "delicious" okonomiyaki kept coming. Despite the low price of 250 yen, the okonomiyaki was generously topped with pork. Boutan received the freshly cooked okonomiyaki and yakisoba and decided to eat them at a nearby park. Opening the paper wrapping, a sweet sauce aroma filled the air. Starting with the "buta tamago-iri" for 250 yen... The okonomiyaki had a nice crispy surface from being cooked over high heat, while the cabbage inside still had a bit of crunch. The combination of the crispy outside, gooey inside, and the crunchy cabbage was delightful. The sweet sauce similar to Otafuku sauce complemented the dish well, making it easy to devour. Next was the "yakisoba" for 250 yen... This dish also had a generous amount of ingredients for the price. The abundant use of sauce brought out the mellow flavor, and it was incredibly delicious. The chewy yakisoba noodles were soaked in sauce, making it incredibly tasty. Impressed by the high quality of the dishes for 250 yen, Boutan was in awe. With such delicious okonomiyaki and yakisoba available for a mere 500 yen, it was no wonder that customers kept coming in. The longing for the mellow taste of the sweet sauce made Boutan feel like revisiting the place soon. "It was delicious.

This is a takeout-only okonomiyaki shop located very close to Asakayama Station on the Nankai Koya Line. The pork okonomiyaki and squid okonomiyaki are only 250 yen each!

The menu includes pork okonomiyaki (250 yen), squid okonomiyaki (250 yen), modern-yaki (Hiroshima style) (350 yen), yakisoba (250 yen), and even takoyaki (70 yen).

It's very convenient and a favorite spot of mine! Thank you for the meal! (^O^)/~~seeyou!

I watched a TV show the day before called "Himitsu no Kenmin Show" and suddenly felt like eating yakisoba, so I visited this restaurant. I ordered yakisoba and okonomiyaki. At first, I was the only one waiting, but then more and more customers started coming in. It seems like a popular place! When the food was ready, I took it home and tried it. The okonomiyaki tasted a bit watery, but the yakisoba was quite delicious! Considering the affordable price, I can't complain too much. I will definitely revisit for the yakisoba, and maybe try the takoyaki next time. Thank you for the meal!

Super cheap takoyaki shop. Takeout only. Cheap, fast, delicious! Extremely local store. ◆Purchase: 6 takoyaki for 200 yen ◆Impression: The takoyaki is a bit small and the flavor is simple, but it's delicious! A junk food snack! So cheap and easy to eat! (By the way, they raised the price to this amount! It used to be even cheaper!) But this is actually the true image of takoyaki. Cheap and easy to munch on as a snack. Fast food. Reminds me of my childhood!! They also offer other items like butatama and yakisoba for 300-400 yen! A super cheap local shop that is hard to come across in Tokyo. I love the combination of this affordability and local feel!

Sakai-ku, Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, in the Kaigamachi area. Just a 1-minute walk from Asakayama Station on the Nankai Koya Line. I had a sudden craving for yakisoba, so I decided to visit Toyochan, which also serves okonomiyaki and takoyaki. They are open from 10:00 to 15:00 during the day, for a total of 5 hours. This was my first visit as I hadn't had the chance to go before. Prices are quite reasonable, with takoyaki priced at 200 yen for 6 pieces, 300 yen for 9 pieces, yakisoba at 350 yen, large yakisoba at 450 yen, and modanyaki at 450 yen. Okonomiyaki options include butatama (pork) and ikatama (squid), both priced at 350 yen. The place started filling up quickly as I placed my order, and soon there was a line forming. The yakisoba was packed with ingredients like pork, cabbage, and bean sprouts. There was a generous amount of pickled ginger, which I appreciated. The portion was quite large, so I wondered what the large size would be like. The noodles were chewy, and the sauce was delicious. The takoyaki was small but tasty. It lacked seaweed, bonito flakes, or mayonnaise, but given the low cost, it was great. The texture was slightly firm on the outside and creamy on the inside. I could easily eat several of these. The modanyaki at 450 yen also seemed like a good deal. I'll have to try it next time I stop by. Overall, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I got takeout okonomiyaki for lunch today to support a local restaurant in Sakai that is still open despite the pandemic. I bought pork okonomiyaki, squid okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and takoyaki from "Toyochan," a takeout-only okonomiyaki shop near Asakayama Station on the Nankai Koya Line, and ate them at home. I don't have a photo of the yakisoba, but "Toyochan" is a beloved takeout-only okonomiyaki shop among locals. Since my nephew was visiting that day, I ordered more takeout than usual. My nephew also enjoyed the food very much. The pork okonomiyaki, squid okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and yakisoba were all incredibly delicious!

For lunch today, I got takeout from a local okonomiyaki restaurant in Sakai City! Despite the pandemic, they are still open and I wanted to support them. I bought "Butatama & Yakisoba" from a place called "Toyochan" located near Asakayama Station on the Nankai Koya Line. Toyochan is a popular takeout-only okonomiyaki restaurant loved by locals. Okonomiyaki costs 300 yen, yakisoba costs 300 yen, and modanyaki costs 400 yen. I wasn't feeling well that day and didn't have much of an appetite in the morning, but I suddenly craved the Butatama & Yakisoba from Toyochan. Their okonomiyaki and yakisoba are like a source of energy. The Butatama & Yakisoba were so delicious!

In February of the 4th year of Reiwa, I had some delicious takoyaki that was 200 yen cheaper for 8 pieces. I went there after 1 pm and there were already a few people waiting. Some customers were buying 1000 yen worth of takoyaki alone. So, if you're in a hurry, it's probably a good idea to make a reservation.

For lunch today, I got takeout from a nearby okonomiyaki restaurant! Despite the pandemic, this local restaurant in Sakai is still open for business, so I decided to support them by getting lunch. I went to "Toyochan," a okonomiyaki restaurant located very close to Asakayama Station on the Nankai Koya Line, and bought two "modern yaki," "ika tamago," and takoyaki. I'll mention it again, but "Toyochan" is a takeout-only okonomiyaki restaurant loved by locals. Their prices are very affordable, with okonomiyaki for 300 yen, yakisoba for 300 yen, modern yaki for 400 yen, and 12 takoyaki for 300 yen. It's a very old-fashioned and budget-friendly okonomiyaki restaurant. Recently, on a TV show, actress Fukahara Kazue, who is from Sakai City, was introduced as someone who frequented this place. Now, the modern yaki here is made by spreading a crepe-like batter (okonomiyaki batter without cabbage) on the grill, cracking an egg on top, and then adding a generous amount of yakisoba before wrapping it all up with the batter. While there are different styles of modern yaki with okonomiyaki or just noodles inside, the one here is more similar to Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. Both the okonomiyaki and yakisoba are delicious, but personally, I love their modern yaki the most. The modern yaki, ika tamago, and takoyaki were all incredibly tasty!

Actress Fuuka Koshiba, who stars in the Tuesday 9pm drama "She Was Pretty" on Fuji TV, visited a takoyaki shop that she used to frequent as a child. This shop specializes in takeout yakisoba, okonomiyaki, modanyaki, and takoyaki. Just like Kan'ei-do, where Yoko Yamasaki from Kanjani Eight used to visit often, there are takoyaki shops that celebrities from Osaka used to go to as kids. The takoyaki here is the normal size, not the trendy jumbo size, but it is filled with plenty of octopus. The simple taste of just sauce and seaweed enhances the deliciousness of the takoyaki. With a reasonable price of 400 yen for 16 pieces, it is quite attractive. Located at 1-4-1 Kagaoka-cho, Sakai-ku, Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture.

At Asakayama, there is a popular takoyaki shop where customers keep coming non-stop. Everyone orders their favorite okonomiyaki. The takoyaki is 8 pieces for 200 yen, hot and fluffy, delicious! It had no mayo or nori on top, but it had a nostalgic taste. Thank you for the meal. Apparently, they appeared on TV later, but I didn't know.
