Osaka, Suita City. Panasonic Suita Stadium. It's been a while since I've been to Pansta for a game. Outside, Tamuken is on stage getting the crowd excited. They even did a kick-in. Before the game, I had the usual takoyaki and beer from Kukuru. I enjoyed it on the outside stairs without even sitting down yet. They also gave me a clear file as a gift. Fluffy and delicious. I washed it down with beer. Mmm, delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Osaka, Suita City. Panasonic Suita Stadium. A set of draft beer for 1,350 yen. A delightful pre-soccer match meal. Enjoying piping hot takoyaki, savoring each bite, and finishing off with beer. Delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Osaka, Suita City. Inside Panasonic Stadium. Can't drink beer but can eat takoyaki. Due to the limited number of people, I was able to buy without waiting in line. There was a team clear file in the bag I purchased. I was happy because there was a clear file in the bag last time too. I quickly returned to my seat and ate while it was still hot. Takoyaki is delicious when eaten while it's piping hot. It would be even better with beer though~ Thank you for the meal.

At Panasonic Stadium, the popular gourmet food is Kukuru's takoyaki. Since they are also sponsors of Gamba Osaka, when you come to Panasonic Stadium, you definitely have to line up and buy the beer set. Today, alcohol is allowed again, so the enjoyment of watching the game has increased. Kukuru sprinkles white wine when grilling, so it has a scent of dashi plus something extra. The taste of the batter itself is indeed Kukuru. However, whether it is tailored for the stadium or because time has passed after grilling, the thick and smooth texture of the dashi is missing. It's a bit disappointing that the chewy texture of the flour remains. Osaka's takoyaki is best when it's freshly grilled. Since there are long lines, they prepare a lot in advance and serve them after keeping them warm, so the hot and gooey goodness of authentic Osaka takoyaki is reduced by half. For those who come from outside Osaka, please try it at the store near the Monorail Banpaku Kinen Koen Station.

Osaka, Suita City. Panasonic Stadium 3rd floor. Long line. While waiting, yakisoba sold out. Sometimes I thought about yakisoba, but gave up and went for the usual takoyaki and beer set. Enjoyed eating on the outdoor stairs. The takoyaki was fluffy and delicious. The beer made my throat happy. Thank you for the meal.

Osaka, Suita City. Inside Panasonic Stadium. The stadium has a capacity limit, so I think tickets are easy to get. While waiting for the start, I enjoyed eating takoyaki. A set of takoyaki with a large piece of octopus costs 750 yen, and a draft beer costs 650 yen. Thanks to the small number of spectators, I was able to make my purchase quickly. I sipped on the draft beer to moisten my throat and savored the takoyaki. It was fantastic. Thank you for the meal.

While watching soccer at Suita Stadium, I bought takoyaki, typical Osaka street food, and ate it in my seat. Despite being a bit squished in the paper pack, the taste exceeded my expectations. The octopus inside was large and delicious.
