Takonotetsu

Despite Osaka having a takoyaki shop or stall on every corner, finding a joint that does something really different with the iconic dish can be a challenge. Takonotetsu fits the bill: this shop lets you cook your octopus dumplings yourself, on a purpose-made griddle mounted into your table. (Don’t worry: the staff will show you how.) On your way out, stop to check out the selection of cute takoyaki T-shirts.
