Takoyaki TAMAYA Main Store

The key to its deliciousness is the natural broth made from European lobsters.

Last update :

This renowned shop has elevated the universally loved Osaka snack "takoyaki" to a level where it's recognized in prestigious international gourmet guidebooks.

The secret behind its taste is the natural broth, slowly and meticulously extracted. This broth combines flavors from seafood ingredients like kelp and dried sardines, as well as chicken bones, pork bones, vegetables, and even fruits, which are mixed into the takoyaki batter. Additionally, the "king of shrimps," the European lobster, is simmered to make a soup which adds a subtle, refined sweetness to the flavor, marking its distinctive characteristic.

While they are delicious on their own, customers can also choose from seven seasoning options, including sauce, citrus-based ponzu, and garlic soy sauce. Additionally, mayonnaise, green seaweed powder, and domestically produced chili pepper are available as free toppings. Enjoy the freshly baked takoyaki with your preferred seasoning and toppings to your heart's content.
