Takoyaki is delicious. You can enjoy it without sauce or soy sauce. The menu is simple, but it's great for a casual drink. The owner is friendly and pleasant. The stairs are steep like a ladder, so be careful when you're drunk and heading home. It's my favorite place.

I came back to Minami. I found a standing bar I was looking for, but it was unexpectedly closed for the day. We ended up walking around and my companion suddenly said they wanted to eat takoyaki, so we came here. There are table seats on the second floor. Be careful on the steep stairs if you're drunk. Time for another beer. I'll have a highball. And let's go all out with a Takoyaki with octopus for 400 yen. The ready-made takoyaki only had 6 pieces for 350 yen. They asked us about the seasoning for the takoyaki and recommended sesame oil, soy sauce, and mayonnaise. It was surprisingly delicious with a crispy outside and a creamy inside. Takoyaki with sesame oil is actually quite good. If you ever feel like eating takoyaki while drinking in Minami, it's worth stopping by here. Thank you for the meal.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆Meal meeting with food bloggers 7th restaurant☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ The next restaurant we went to was a takoyaki place we found while walking towards the station to make sure Zaura, Shirakun, Binbin, and Kappa could drink until the last train. It's not a fancy place, just a normal house converted into a restaurant, but it's cozy. There was a guy smoking upstairs, so we turned on a fan to get rid of the smoke. When asked why, I said it's because the smoke was bothering me. Kappa then started coughing loudly, not because of the smoke, but it was perfect timing for a good laugh. The guy smoking probably felt uncomfortable all of a sudden. I ordered a Tris highball and some fish sausage for myself, while Binbin ordered more takoyaki. The takoyaki was delicious, as expected of Osaka takoyaki. I also ordered a strong highball for my second drink, which surprised me with how strong it was. I'll definitely come back for more takoyaki. I have a not-so-helpful gourmet blog if you're interested (lol). 草草's diary: http://eatjlvjl.blog122.fc2.com/

The drinking party, which started with a curry food tour, ended up at a place called Kura, next to a hormone shop called Tei. It's not a fancy place, just tables set up in a normal house with a wall knocked out. It's strangely comfortable. There was only one other customer, maybe a friend of the owner. I had a Tris highball for 350 yen and a Kara highball for 400 yen. The snacks were also cheap: soy sauce rice crackers for 100 yen, fish sausage with mayonnaise for 100 yen, and takoyaki for 650 yen. The takoyaki was surprisingly good, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. The second drink was a premium highball for 500 yen. I might stop by here again for a quick drink.

I went to "Guritako" located just behind SUBWAY at the intersection of Namba. This shop is one I have used a few times because the takoyaki I took home after visiting a nearby izakaya was delicious. On this day, I had 6 takoyaki (350 yen), which were delicious, two chu-hai drinks (300 yen each), and a fish sausage (100 yen). Although I haven't tried all the varieties, I recommend the soy sauce mayo and sesame oil mayo. The shop is an old house converted into a shop, so it's not fancy, but the owner's hard work and friendly attitude give it a nice atmosphere. In the Minami area of Osaka, there are many famous takoyaki shops, but in terms of taste, I think Takoyaki Doraku Wanaka Sennichimae Honten and Yama-chan Honten in Tennoji stand out, followed by the level of the other crowded shops like Takoyaki Iya Bunzaemon, Takomandotonbori, Takoshogun Sennen Honten, and Aizuya Honten. I haven't tried all the shops in the Minami area, so there may be other good ones, but this is just my personal opinion. With these four popular shops, this shop will soon join the ranks of thriving businesses. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.
