Ahoya Kurakuen’s “Pecha-yaki” and “Takoyaki”

Takoyaki, 12 pieces Sauce + mayo + ichimi chili pepper　780 yen (tax included)

The bright colors of the aonori seaweed and ichimi chili pepper really get your appetite going〜〜🤤

Each takoyaki piece was big, so I wondered if I could even pick one up, but it lifted right up with a bamboo skewer.

Inside, it was fluffy and melty. Even though they’re big, you can still pick them up!

The heat from the ichimi added a nice little kick♪

Here’s what the octopus looked like. It had a nice chunky presence〜

Pecha-yaki　450 yen (tax included)
I’d been wanting to try this! Ahoya’s specialty, “Pecha-yaki”

Pecha-yaki is made using this machine. First comes the egg, bam.

Next, cheese and three pieces of takoyaki are added…

Pecha〜〜〜〜 Sorry the photo is blurry m(_ _)m

Thick and super chewy, the batter has a pretty serious heft when you lift it with chopsticks.

Look at this cross-section〜〜 So jiggly〜〜〜

Inside the batter are egg, cheese, and three pieces of takoyaki, and each ingredient is cooked just perfectly.

Together with the sweet sauce, it makes for such a gentle, comforting flavor♡

This is the kind of thing everyone will absolutely love!! I finished it in no time〜😋

This photo was sent in by Atama ga Bossa Nova @ Nishi2 supporter! What an artistic mayo beam✨

Ahoya Kurakuen Menu

Here’s the menu↓

They have tako-sen too〜 I’m getting that next time♪

Here’s the lineup of takoyaki toppings. I’d like to try them simply with soy sauce or salt sometime〜

Ahoya Kurakuen Store Information

The outside of the shop↓

With the noren curtain hanging at the entrance, it has the look of a cozy little shop〜. The entrance is for staff only, so customers can’t go inside〜

Takoyaki really is great, isn’t it〜〜〜. So satisfying〜〜〜〜. I heard people are happy because there hadn’t been a place like this around Kurakuen. If you haven’t been yet, definitely go experience the pecha-yaki!
