Great Takoyaki! - Edit
We are vegan and allergic to gluten. Until now, there were no vegan takoyaki around Namba and Shinsaibashi stations. We had given up on trying the local cuisine, but we have found the one and only takoyaki.
Read moreIt was wonderful. We ordered the takoyaki plate and the 1500 yen kushikatsu, both of which are vegan and gluten-free. The takoyaki is made with soybeans instead of wheat flour, so it is very healthy and hearty. Drinks are only 200 yen and you can make your own. My friend was pleased with the wide variety of scotch and bourbon. Gluten free beer is also available for 200 yen. Highly recommended.
Pros: affordable, All Vegan Menu Also suitable for gluten-free, Cool Place

Best Food - Edit
I was looking around the Shinsaibashi area for Osaka's famous takoyaki.
Read moreI found a sign that said "vegan" and "takoyaki".
No matter which item on the menu I chose, it was vegan.
The takoyaki was very tasty and I had another one.
There were many kinds of drinks to choose from and they were only 200 yen per drink.
I will definitely go there when I come to Osaka.
Pros: All vegan menu, Pleasant Atmosphere

Sunday evening stroll - Edit
Newly opened vegan&gluten free “takoyaki” style restaurant.
Read moreJust a few steps from the Ebisu bashi aka beating heart of Ōsaka.
Order at the bar, wait to be called. Managed by one, but hospitality is honest, no fake smiles :).
You can get “takoyaki” (8pcs. for 680¥) with sauce or soy sauce, green onions or cheese (vegan/non vegan possible), cold tofu, edamame or chips (french fries). All the drinks are self-served for 200¥.
Everything was very tasty, definitely not my last visit!
Pros: Authentical “takoyaki” experience for vegans, Self-served drink corner (no need to wait), Friendly prices
Cons: Managed by one, waiting time can be longer.

Thanks for the very nice comments!
Read moreWe have increased the number of menu items.
You can now choose from spicy sauce, aurora sauce, and salted sesame oil. We have also added two more desserts that are perfect for after dinner!
Vanilla ice cream and mixed berry gelato.
Please let us know what you think. We received your rating before, but due to a glitch in the Happy Cow system, it was converted to 4 stars. Please re-review if possible.
We look forward to seeing you again. Thanks for coming to Okotako!
