Tekoya Kyobashi

With soft, tender takoyaki, choosing the seasoning is part of the pleasure. Several diners describe Tekoya Kyobashi’s takoyaki as fluffy and gooey, and some also praise the generous size. Options include house-made sauce, oyster soy sauce, savoury salt and bōzu, served plain, with portions ranging from 6 to 15 pieces. One diner who ordered the soy sauce flavour noted a crisp outside, a soft centre and a subtle seasoning. Others found the savoury salt quite strong, so it may be worth choosing according to your taste.

Alongside classic takoyaki, the menu includes negi takoyaki with spring onion and cheese takoyaki; both are available with the same choice of seasonings and portion sizes. Some diners recommend adding cheese to takoyaki or trying the omu-soba, yakisoba topped with an omelette, for a more substantial option. For a meal centred on griddled batter, choose from pork, squid or mixed okonomiyaki, or order yakisoba in a regular or large portion, with pork, squid or a mix. One diner who often buys the pork okonomiyaki says a single pancake is satisfying, and describes calling ahead to have it cooked before collecting it.

Takeaway and collection at the shop are available, whether you want takoyaki for a quick bite or would rather take home okonomiyaki or yakisoba.
