Great Takoyaki!

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.
It 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

great option

This place is not to be missed.
The food is enticing and it shows in the restaurant.
Colorful rooms, music, friendly atmosphere.
Plus, a unique corner allows you to make your own drinks, all for 200 yen.

Best Food

I was looking around the Shinsaibashi area for Osaka's famous takoyaki.
I 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

Newly opened vegan&gluten free “takoyaki” style restaurant.
Just 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!
We 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!

Fully vegan, delicious Takoyaki

Amazing all Gluten-free,vegan!!
We came here during a quick stop in Osaka Namba, so it came in handy that this place is close to Shinsaibashi station. Coming here lifted my entire mood and you can’t beat 200 yen drinks. Takoyaki is cheap at 680 yen.

Great place, great atmosphere delicious food, Gluten free, self-service and All menu items are vegan.
Super cheap drinks for ¥200. The Takoyaki were delicious for ¥680. So full afterwards! It's so impressive how only one woman runs this shop. The whole atmosphere is amazing and vegan-friendly. Can’t wait for our next Osaka Shinsaibashi and Namba trip just to come here!

Fun vegan takoyaki restaurant

An all-vegan restaurant in Namba, Osaka.
The main menu is takoyaki, and you can choose vegetable sauce or soy sauce.
They are all delicious.
All drinks are 200 yen, and it is fun because there are many kinds and you can make them yourself.

Amazing vegan takoyaki in Osaka.

If you are down for healthy option ototako makes its batter from okara, the byproduct of tofu, and it’s very delicious.
I have been to its sister store that does okonomiyaki as well and they are both delicious.
Highly recommended

A perfect place to have a few drinks

All menus are gluten-free and vegan.
Takoyaki is 680 yen. I'll make my own drinks for 200 yen. It's cheap, voluminous and delicious. It's also good for takeout and eating around.
It's in Shinsaibashi. It's a short walk from Namba, the downtown area of Osaka.

Best option for Vegan

This restaurant gave us the option of eating Vegan takoyaki. The takoyaki are priced at a whopping 680 yen.
All menu items are gluten free and Vegan friendly.
All drinks are also two hundred yen (that's a typical sized cup, not a scam by any means).
The store is located in the Namba area of Osaka and is easily accessible, just 5 minutes from Shinsaibashi station.

Pros: taste, Atmosphere, All of it, if that is allowed!

Small and funky

Grunge 90s music, small funky place with glitterball and self-service drinks. Friendly owner/chef working hard to make delicious vegan balls and some sides. Highly recommend this place to solo travellers or couples. Takeaway also available.

Pros: Friendly service, Quirky surroundings, Delicious food
