I randomly ordered delivery from here. I ordered the "Ultimate" salt yakisoba (486), fried rice (702), and 6 takoyaki (486), for a total of 1674 yen. I divided it into 2 meals. The fried rice was cheap with pickled ginger, but surprisingly tasty. The takoyaki was okay, nothing special. The problem was the yakisoba. Despite calling itself the "Ultimate," it lacked any distinctive features and didn't taste very good. I stopped eating it right away and let it sit for a while before recooking it with XO sauce. It became somewhat edible after that. I ordered the same thing last time, but this time it felt like the quality had dropped.

I always order delivery from here. Besides the takoyaki, everything is delicious and I am a repeat customer. I love food stalls, so I like all the items on the menu here. My favorites are the butter-flavored yakisoba and the yam tempura. I would like to visit the restaurant in person sometime. Thank you always!

I've recently been obsessed with takoyaki, so I decided to try this place that I've been curious about for a while. Just to clarify, I'm not a picky eater when it comes to takoyaki, so my standards are quite low. Please keep that in mind as you read. There was a prominently displayed price list for takeout orders, but I couldn't find any other price list, so I assumed that was the pricing. Takeout was slightly cheaper, but since they priced everything down to the last yen, it was a bit confusing. The owners, a man and a woman who seemed to be in their thirties, were running the place. The man had a bit of a tough guy vibe, like he could be in a Toei V-Cinema film. The woman greeted us with a friendly "Irasshaimase" and had a kind and polite demeanor. There are many wonderful owners who may seem tough but are actually very nice, like a ramen shop owner who used to be a Yankee. Those kinds of places make you want to visit again and again. Otherwise, you just end up looking like a thug at your age, which is unpleasant. Well, for a casual customer like me, as long as the takoyaki tastes good, that's all that matters. I ordered the "Takoyaki 6 pieces" (432 yen) to go, and when I got home, I noticed that many of them didn't have any octopus inside. Maybe they were too small to notice even if they were there. I'll post a close-up of one of the small ones. By the way, my habit when getting takoyaki to go is to first take out the octopus to give to my cat, then I start eating the takoyaki without octopus. So, even if the octopus was small, I wouldn't have missed it. But this time, I struggled to find any octopus except for one that was decent-sized (though still tiny) which I gave to my cat, and the small one I posted in the photo. As you can see in the photo, my cat is not pleased. As for the taste, I would cook them longer if it were up to me. In Kansai, we've been making takoyaki at home since we were kids, but maybe the husband and wife here didn't grow up with that tradition. This time might just be an exception. It's hard to believe that this is the norm. I'd really like to hear from regular customers about their experiences. That's all.

There is a Kansai-style soft takoyaki shop on the south side of Ichibonanomatsu in the west. You can get 6 for 400 yen or 12 for 600 yen. I decided to go for 12 as recommended by the gods. They offer three flavors to choose from: sauce, ponzu, or salt. There is no seating, only takeout available. It's a 10-minute walk home for me, but the takoyaki is still hot. I chose the classic flavor with sauce, bonito flakes, seaweed, and mayonnaise. The takoyaki is soft, not too crispy, which I prefer. The octopus could have been a bit bigger, but overall it was enjoyable. I will remember to come back at night. Thank you.

This is a takoyaki shop located in the Nakano shopping street, near Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. Among the 2-3 takoyaki shops nearby, this one is the most delicious in my opinion. In addition to takoyaki, they also sell karaage (fried chicken). There are 10 seats available for dining inside the shop, where you can enjoy takoyaki with a glass of beer. It's also nice to hang out with friends outside on additional chairs, but let's consider the noise level for the neighbors. They also offer delivery service for your convenience. The takoyaki has a fluffy texture with a hint of scallop broth. It's great with regular sauce, but also delicious with salt, green onion, and mayonnaise.

I recognized the name of this shop but had never visited before. I found out that they offer delivery service, so I decided to give it a try. This was for a regular takeout, not delivery. However, recently when I write about delivery-only shops, I get nonsensical comments saying "this is for regular takeout," which is frustrating. I ordered the following items: "Ultimate" salt yakisoba for 486 yen, agetakoyaki for 486 yen, menchi-katsu for 378 yen, and negi shio buta kalbi for 594 yen, totaling 1944 yen. This was enough for two meals. I was drawn to order the menchi-katsu because I saw a picture online that looked like a thick ham cutlet, but in reality, it was just a regular one. The taste was okay, but I appreciated that they delivered almost on time despite the distance from the shop to my home. However, it was a bit sloppy that they didn't include a receipt. When I asked for one, the delivery boy said, "You didn't request a receipt," which was a strange excuse. It seems he didn't know the difference between a receipt and a receipt with an itemized list. The delivery only at night is a bit inconvenient, but they have a wide variety of items, so I might use them again when I feel like having takoyaki or something.
