TAKOPO’s takoyaki are the classic balls made with dashi-infused batter, but with toppings that include wasabi, cheese and creamy sesame, all with your choice of filling, such as octopus, scallops or mushrooms and corn.
You can also choose other toppings included, such as ginger, onions, bonito flakes, etc.
Other street food has a real sense of sparkle, like flame nigiri, whether you want salmon served as is or topped with jalapeno, cheese sauce, or sriracha.
As for one of the most popular Japanese street food dishes (tempura), the creations here are as interesting as they are tasty. Glazed Wirth sauces like Peaches and Cream and Honey Garlic, it’s a fun new way to enjoy the crunchy snack.
