Takoyaki Doraku Wanaka, Sennichimae Main Store

Crispy on the outside & melt-in-the-mouth on the inside, these takoyaki are worth the wait.

Last update :

Located in the bustling area of Namba, surrounded by attractions like "Kuromon Market" and "Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street ". It's no surprise to see a line even on weekdays, and the skilled chefs at the storefront prepare takoyaki at a pace that matches the incoming flow of customers.

The secret to their irresistible flavor lies in the batter poured onto a heat-conductive copper plate. The batter uses finely milled flour, chosen with care, and is flavored with a savory dashi stock and a hint of salt. Thanks to a recipe refined through countless tweaks and years of research since its inception, the taste is impeccable even without any sauces or ponzu.

Their perfectly crisp exterior and the melt-in-the-mouth center strike a harmony with the tender octopus. The simple garnishes of fresh green onions, pickled ginger, and tempura scraps amplify its appeal.
