About

OKO Takoyaki specializes in fully vegan, gluten-free Japanese street food with signature dishes like takoyaki and kushikatsu sets that include miso soup, rice, and purple cabbage salad. Operated single-handedly by Shiho, this multi-floor venue features a lively, graffiti-filled atmosphere with a rock music vibe where customers order downstairs and dine upstairs. Despite occasional long waits due to solo operation, the generous portions and affordable drinks (all 200 yen) make it a popular lunch and solo dining spot in Osaka.
