Located right next to Namba Grand Kagetsu in Sennichimae, the flagship store is so popular that queues of customers line up. The spheres are baked one after another in front of the store, using dashi-infused batter that's quickly cooked on a copper plate, creating a striking contrast between the crispy outside and the soft inside. The classic approach is to pick up your takoyaki at the counter on the first floor and dine on it fresh at the eat-in area, which seats a total of 80, including the second floor. This is the perfect place for those looking to experience Osaka's specialties in a short space of time between sightseeing in Minami.

The store's four-item o-iri (rice bowl) platter offers a variety of flavors, including special sauce, dashi soy sauce, kettle-cooked salt, and spicy sauce. The Akashiyaki-style "wanko tako" (octopus buns) served in warm bonito broth, and the "takosen" (octopus buns sandwiched between shrimp crackers) are also popular with tourists. Customize your takoyaki with toppings like green onions and cheese.
