4. Acchichi Honpo Dotonbori store
This is Acchichi Honpo, a very popular takoyaki restaurant in Dotonbori. This store often has long lines and is loved by both Japanese and foreign tourists.
The characteristic of takoyaki is that it has a large, creamy octopus inside, so you can feel the volume.
What's also great about it is that you can see it being made right in front of your eyes.

5.Takoyaki Juhachiban Dotonbori store SONS-DOHTONBORI
Takoyaki Juhachiban is also a very popular restaurant. The unique feature of this restaurant is that they have a variety of toppings and sauces, so you can compare the tastes of the takoyaki. Also, since the takoyaki contains tenkasu (tempura crumbs), you can enjoy the crunchy and fluffy texture.
There is also an eat-in space, so you can relax and enjoy your takoyaki.
