Dotonbori Kukuru, Inside the Shinkansen ticket gates

Dotonbori Kukuru is a takoyaki shop inside the Shinkansen ticket gates at Shin-Osaka Station in Osaka, in the Osaka Noren Meguri area. Its takoyaki comes with a large piece of octopus, with a soft outside and a creamy inside. The shop opens at 7:30 a.m., and you order and pay first, then sit down and the food comes out quickly. There are few seats, so they fill up fast.
