Takoyaki Kurobei

Takoyaki Kurobei is an izakaya in an alley off Pontocho-dori in Kyoto, serving takoyaki and okonomiyaki. The takoyaki comes as 18 pieces that customers grill themselves, and the menu also includes Kirin Ichiban draft beer and grilled butter scallops. Orders are taken with the help of an English menu and a translation app, and cooking starts right after ordering, so the wait is long. Payment is cash only.
