Takohachi Dotonbori Sohonten: Multi-Floor Sit-Down Takoyaki Since 1979
Takohachi has served takoyaki on Dotonbori since 1979, hand-grilling each order on traditional copper takoyaki pans. Unlike many takeout-only stands nearby, its Sohonten spans three floors with proper table seating, making it a more comfortable option for groups who want to sit down.
The menu centers on classic takoyaki along with a few Osaka-style side dishes, and its long-running presence on the canal has made it a fixture of the Dotonbori food scene.
