Tsukijigindako

When you want a satisfying serving of takoyaki, Tsukijigindako offers choices to suit your mood, from its classic “Zettai Umai!! Takoyaki” to versions layered with extra toppings and sauces. The classic is described on the menu as crisp on the outside, soft inside and filled with springy octopus. Diners have also remarked on its well-browned exterior, tender centre and generously sized pieces of octopus, making it a good starting point if you want to try the standard flavour.

For something more substantial, there is teritama, topped with the shop’s special teriyaki sauce and plenty of egg salad prepared in-house. One diner recalled how well the egg salad paired with the takoyaki and its rich sauce. Negidako offers a more Japanese-style alternative: takoyaki topped with green onion, served with grated-daikon tentsuyu on the side for dipping. A customer ordering takeaway also enjoyed negidako with its dashi and grated daikon.

Cheese Mentaiko is another option for fans of mentaiko: it combines mentaiko mayonnaise made with Hakata mentaiko with Parmesan and mozzarella. One diner chose teritama alongside a limited-time flavour and felt that switching between flavours made a larger order more enjoyable. For something sweet after the takoyaki, there is croissant taiyaki; a diner who tried the matcha and milk flavour said the matcha stood out.

The shop offers both dine-in and takeaway, and is described as suitable for solo dining. Choose whether to eat in or take your order away, then decide between classic takoyaki and variations with sauce, green onion or grated-daikon tentsuyu. There are options for different ways of eating on the day.
