Finding the best Takoyaki in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Takoyaki I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled sake with genuine knowledge and the deeply savoury result was noticeably superior.

seasonal ingredients guide the menu in traditional settings. The winning restaurant had the right an intimate Tokyo counter restaurant feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. cold Sapporo beer was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Takoyaki is made properly it's a completely different experience.
