Plan description

This takoyaki-making experience takes place in a 70-year-old traditional Japanese house in Nagai, Sumiyoshi Ward, Osaka. The dough, made with octopus from Akashi and carefully selected domestic ingredients, offers an exquisite taste you won't find at takoyaki shops in tourist areas. The moment you bite into the piping hot takoyaki you've cooked yourself is an exceptional experience. Enjoy a special moment in a Japanese-style room with tatami mats, as if you were invited into a Japanese home. The casual, homey atmosphere makes it a delight for families, friends, couples, and anyone in between! It's the perfect experience before or after a visit to Nagai Park TeamLab Botanical Garden or Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine.

Experience Japanese life and food culture in a 70-year-old traditional Japanese house

This 70-year-old Japanese house remains in Sumiyoshi Nagai, a downtown area of Osaka. Entering the Japanese-style room with tatami mats and shoji screens, taking off your shoes and sitting on the tatami mats, you will feel as if you have been invited into a Japanese home. In a space enveloped in the warmth of wood, you can grill your own takoyaki, Osaka's soul food, and experience the fusion of "Japanese everyday life" and food culture that you cannot find at temples, shrines or hotels in tourist areas.

"Ultimate Takoyaki" that surpasses the real thing

We've carefully selected domestic seasonings, including octopus from Akashi, wheat flour from Hokkaido, and soy sauce, which has been designated a national tangible cultural property.
Through repeated and thorough trial and error, we've pursued the perfect flavor.
This experience will further refine the authentic Osaka flavor, allowing you to experience a "memorable deliciousness" that can only be experienced here.

It's even more fun because you can cook it twice! A takoyaki experience full of smiles

At Tako no Ma, you can make takoyaki twice. The first time, you'll feel the excitement of pouring the batter and adding the ingredients. When you flip it over, you might hear laughter as you exclaim, "Oh, it's fallen apart!" The second time, your hands will gradually get used to it, and you'll hear cheers of "It's round now!" Children will be engrossed, and adults will revert to their childhood and become serious. You'll enjoy a special time surrounded by piping hot takoyaki, with smiles naturally spilling out of your face.
