Takotsubo

Takotsubo is a flour-based dish shop two minutes on foot from Abeno Station in Osaka, serving Akashiyaki, tonpeiyaki, and okonomiyaki. The Akashiyaki is a soft batter with large octopus inside, dipped in dashi broth, and the tonpeiyaki comes as thick pork wrapped in egg. It opened in 1961 and is now run by the third generation, and it has been listed in the Michelin Bib Gourmand for five consecutive years. Orders are placed at a terminal or by QR code in front of the shop, and the sauce and seasoning are strong, so the tonpeiyaki becomes heavy to eat alone toward the end.
