Nice small restaurant right around the Hirakata -Koen Station. Good food and friendly staff.

A takoyaki shop located about a 2-minute walk from Hirakata-Koen Station. I always use it for takeout. It's reasonable and you get plenty for the price. I personally recommend the sauce takoyaki. There is also negimayo ponzu takoyaki. For dine-in, you can drink alcohol from daytime, giving off a cozy vibe of people who seem to be locals. There are also menu items other than takoyaki, making it a good place to have lunch or drinks from daytime.

Hmm, I guess takoyaki is about the flour rather than the octopus, huh. You can tell best if you eat it plain without any sauce. I found it with high ratings and went to buy it, but it was an unremarkable takoyaki with a floury taste. The octopus is also hard. It would be delicious if the dashi came through a bit more! Konmon is difficult, isn't it. The more you eat around and compare, the more refined your palate gets, I suppose. The ladies are friendly, and I want to say... I want to go again, but... I don't need the takoyaki... I bought 15 pieces, but gave up halfway 😭

I really love the home-like atmosphere. Takoyaki ends as soon as the batter runs out. You can't order it even if you go late at night... I had okonomiyaki, and though the price was reasonable, it was voluminous and delicious! Next time I want to go early and eat takoyaki )^o^(

Dropped by with colleagues on the way back from work. There aren't many shops like izakayas around Hirakata-Koen Station, but this place is supreme for a light drink (^O^) First, order a draft beer 🍺 and the "Just in Case" course of three snacks for a soft landing. The mug of draft beer 🍺 in the set is frosted and supreme ❣️ After that, yakisoba, pork tama, and a little bit of other things. Our trio left crisply and satisfied (*^▽^*)
