Kitakyushu Gourmet: Japan's Soul Food? A Takoyaki Shop That Draws Crowds

'Takoyaki Nanachan' Located in Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture While driving, I stumbled upon a bustling shop with a long line! When I checked it out, it turned out to be a takoyaki shop 🐙 Of course, I joined the line lol ✤ Negi Mayo (Green Onion & Mayo) - 7 pieces for 400 yen ✤ Takoyaki - 7 pieces for 350 yen The takoyaki is prepared with incredible speed and efficiency 🐙 The Negi Mayo is generously topped with green onions ♡ The octopus pieces are impressively large 🐙 You can really taste the presence of the octopus! Traditional-style takoyaki that's both affordable and delicious—it's simply the best 🐙✨️ There's a parking lot behind the shop, and they'll even bring your order to your car once it's ready. It was a bit chilly that day, but while waiting, they offered warm tea as a service 🍵 It made me so happy (◦ˉ ˘ ˉ◦) The shop is popular among students after club activities and regular customers. Now I understand why there's always a line. They also serve yakisoba and Issen Yoshoku (a type of savory pancake). You can eat at the tables in front of or next to the shop, or take your food to go. Even when cooled, the takoyaki was still delicious, so takeout is highly recommended. Thank you for the meal (⋆ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)” ※ Menu and prices may have changed ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈𖠚ᐝ𖠿𖠋𖧧┈ 【Takoyaki Nanachan】 ■ Address: Kumamoto 1-chome, Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture ▷ Hours: 10:00–19:00 Closed: Mondays and 1–2 Tuesdays per month Parking available ༶ஐ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
