Takoyaki Dotonbori Kukuru Konamon Museum

Gotta admit Im not a takoyaki connoisseur but this one we purchased is not bad. There are lots of other takoyaki place in Dotonbori though so just don't but too much from one place to try the others.

We ordered the 12 piece assorted takoyaki and it was very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They grill it in front of you too. Small ish seating area on the 1 and 2 floor.

Tried the takoyaki here out of curiosity, since it’s one of the more famous spots in Dotonbori. The price is definitely on the higher side, but you do get noticeably larger pieces of octopus compared to many of the smaller street stalls around the area. The sauce and mayo are nicely balanced, and the overall flavor is decent. That said, while it’s enjoyable, it didn’t quite reach the “must-try” level for me. It’s good, but not especially memorable. Still, if you’re already in Dotonbori and want takoyaki with generous octopus inside, it’s worth stopping by.

Very tasty takoyaki and a nice quiet eating area upstairs if you want to get out of the crowd for a quiet moment to enjoy. You use the ticket system to order and pay which is convenient. Staff are polite and efficient. We had the gourmet set which was delicious.

Check out this gem in Dotonbori! Among the many spots to grab Takoyaki, this one stands out. I highly recommend the butter soy with green onions – it’s absolutely mouthwatering! Plus, the cozy seating on the 2nd or 3rd floor offers a perfect break with a nice river view. The staff? Super friendly and always ready to help. And don't worry about long lines – they move fast. Just make sure to bring some small change for the easy-to-use ordering machine. This place is a must-try for anyone exploring the area!
