Takoyaki Kukuru Daimaru Shinsaibashi

Takoyaki Kukuru Daimaru Shinsaibashi is a specialty shop on the second basement floor of the Daimaru Shinsaibashi store in Osaka, close to Shinsaibashi Station. It serves takoyaki with large pieces of octopus and mentaiko cheese takoyaki, along with Akashiyaki, which is dipped in katsuobushi broth. Orders and payment come first, then you take a seat, and a buzzer tells you when the food is ready; seating is at the counter or in the food court area. The inside of the takoyaki is soft rather than firm.
