Grab a Drink and Some Takoyaki with Tasty Sides
Located about a 4-minute walk from Hatchobori Station on the Hiroshima Electric Railway, this izakaya specializes in takoyaki. Made with a carefully prepared batter rich in dashi flavor, the takoyaki has a light, tender texture with a soft interior and deep flavor. The "plain grilled" style, served without additional toppings or sauce, is one of the signature menu items. A total of 13 varieties are available, with takeout also offered. Beyond takoyaki, the menu features specialty octopus dishes such as sashimi, grilled octopus, and stir-fried dishes made with octopus caught in the Seto Inland Sea. Around 50 individual dishes, including Hiroshima specialties, are available alongside approximately 100 drink options such as champagne, sours, and beer. A standing bar area is also available for a casual drink.
Original Specialty Takoyaki with a Unique Twist
Carefully prepared with a broth-rich batter, the takoyaki features a delicate balance of a light texture and a soft, creamy interior. The 13 varieties of flavors include the plain grilled style served as is, the classic sauce option, and original seasonings such as "Negi Pon Mayo" and "Salt Sesame Oil." Additional toppings are available for an extra charge. The "dipping takoyaki," served with dashi for dipping, is another signature menu item.
A Variety of Octopus Dishes Perfect with Drinks
In addition to takoyaki, the menu offers a full range of octopus dishes, including octopus sashimi, tempura, karaage, and ajillo. Octopus is low in calories and high in protein, with abundant taurine, which is said to support the liver’s detoxifying function, making it a fitting pairing for drinks. A wide selection of other à la carte dishes that pair well with alcohol is also available.
