They do not settle for less quality of ingredients!
KOGARYU takes pride in the ingredients that give birth to delicious Takoyaki!

They use very fresh Tako (octopus) which is normally eaten raw as Sashimi.

First of all, let's look at their particularity for Tako, the most important ingredient for Takoyaki.

Of course, there is a very serious particularity in their dough, as well.
There are 7 different kinds of broth and secret ingredients in their dough that make a very delicious KOUGA-style Takoyaki, which is very soft even to the outside.

The soft texture on the outside is very original to KOUGARYU Takoyaki.

The "Takoyaki" goes perfectly with KOUGARYU original "sauce" and "mayonnaise."

The fruity sauce which they use lots of fruits and the mayonnaise which is made less sour are the traditional KOUGARYU taste that has never changed over the years.

There are various Takoyaki choices in addition to the standard "Sauce-Mayo" menu!

The most popular KOGARYU Takoyaki is of course the standard "Sauce-Mayo." menu. However, there are other choices such as "Negi-Sauce (green onion (negi) and sauce)," "Negi-Pon (green onion and ponzu)," or "Shoyu-Mayo (soy sauce and mayonnaise)." As you can see, you will have choices of various combinations.

For those who wants to try something different, "Black pepper salt & Mayonnaise (with lemon)" is what we would like to recommend.

Please visit and taste the "KOUGARYU" Takoyaki which is made with special particularities for "ingredients, cooking technique, and various menu."

We cannot find any other Takoyaki shop that would serve the soft and fluffy texture that is made from their original dough, other than KOUGARYU Takoyaki.

Their Takoyaki menu includes the standard "Sauce-Mayo," and other choices such as "Negi" topping series, "Shoyu (soysauce)," and "Ponzu," that are very delicious as well.

I highly recommend that you visit KOUGARYU AMERICAMURA HONTEN when you have a chance to visit Osaka.
