What is Takoyaki?

Let’s start with the name!

🐙 Tako = octopus
🔥 Yaki = cooked or grilled

So, Takoyaki literally means “cooked octopus”! 😋

Takoyaki is a popular Japanese street food made from a light, savory batter, with a piece of octopus inside, cooked into little round balls.

They’re made fresh and served hot —
crispy on the outside and soft & gooey inside! 🔥✨

Topped with our homemade Takoyaki sauce, mayo, bonito flakes and green seaweed… 🤤🇯🇵

Never tried Takoyaki before? Come and give it a try! 🐙❤️

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by yesterday and enjoyed our Katsu Sando & Matcha Cheesecake 💚✨

We were so happy to meet you all and truly appreciate your support.

Also, we’re sorry to everyone who had to wait a long time — the strong wind caused some trouble with our cooker, and things didn’t go as smoothly as we hoped 💦

Everyone was so kind and patient, and it really made us feel that Otaku Day is the best 🫶✨

When we cook Japanese food here in Cyprus,
we think about Japan. 🇯🇵

Our families, friends, mountains, and oceans far away from us.

That’s why we put our heart and soul into every recipe—
even when we can’t find the exact same ingredients.

Because sharing real Japanese flavor is our mission.

We’d be happy to hear your “wow” 🥪🍵❤️

Authentic Japanese food, made by Japanese.
