[Osaka, Sumiyoshi Nagai] Experience making takoyaki in a 70-year-old traditional Japanese house! Vegetarian-friendly "Tomato Balls" (Takoyaki Style)

Experience vegetarian-friendly "Tomato Balls" (takoyaki-style) in a 70-year-old traditional Japanese house in Nagai, Sumiyoshi Ward, Osaka. *This special plan (lacto-ovo vegetarian) uses no animal ingredients whatsoever and is crafted with a dashi broth infused with the flavors of shiitake mushrooms and kelp. The concentrated umami of additive-free, ripe sun-dried tomatoes, combined with the subtle aroma and bitterness of bell peppers, creates a deep, rich flavor. Take off your shoes in a tatami-floored Japanese-style room and enjoy your own tomato balls in an atmosphere that makes you feel like you've been invited into a Japanese home. The moment you bite into the piping hot tomato balls you've cooked yourself is truly special! The special sauce is made with Suminoe Miso, a specialty of Osaka with a history of over 490 years. Enjoy the unique miso sauce. This plan is popular with vegetarians, those who don't like octopus, and even those who normally enjoy regular takoyaki. The casual, homey atmosphere will delight anyone, whether you're with family, friends, or a couple! It's the perfect place before or after sightseeing at Nagai Park TeamLab Botanical Garden or Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine.

This 70-year-old Japanese house remains in Sumiyoshi Nagai, a downtown area of Osaka. Enter the Japanese-style room with tatami mats and shoji screens, take off your shoes, and sit on the tatami mats, and you'll feel as if you've been invited into a Japanese home. In a space enveloped in the warmth of wood, you can grill your own vegetarian "Tomato Balls" (soul food takoyaki style), an original dish from Osaka's "Tako no Ma." You can experience a fusion of "Japanese everyday life" and food culture that you can't get at temples, shrines, or hotels in tourist areas. This plan is also very popular with overseas guests!

We want vegetarians (lacto-ovo-vegetarian) to enjoy Osaka soul food! Tako no Ma's tomato balls were created with the desire to share the deliciousness of takoyaki. Made without any animal ingredients, they're packed with the delicious flavors of vegetables and seaweed. They also use carefully selected domestic ingredients, including Hokkaido's premium wheat "Dolce," Shodoshima soy sauce, a nationally designated tangible cultural property, and 100% plant-based, additive-free rice bran oil. The result is a flavor that surpasses that of authentic takoyaki. It's a Tako no Ma original that can't be replicated anywhere else.

At Tako no Ma, you can bake tomato balls 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 recapture their childhood in earnest. You'll spend a special time surrounded by piping hot takoyaki, with smiles naturally spilling over your face. It's a one-of-a-kind experience where smiles will naturally spill over your face.
