Our Classic Takoyaki is the dish that put Takoyami Japanese Street Foods on the Calgary map. Each ball is poured into a molded takoyaki pan to order, using a dashi-infused batter and tender octopus, then turned by hand until the outside is crisp and the centre stays molten and creamy. Finished with takoyaki sauce, Japanese mayo, sweet corn, bonito flakes, nori flakes and green onion, it arrives piping hot - never from a frozen pack.
Takoyaki is the best-loved street snack of Osaka, and in Calgary NE we make it the traditional way. Our batter is built on dashi for a deep, savoury base, then filled with octopus and cooked on a cast griddle so every ball develops a golden shell while the inside stays soft and custardy. Nothing is pre-cooked and reheated: your order hits the pan when you place it.
That made-to-order approach is why guests describe our takoyaki as "fresh off the griddle," and why the classic six-piece order remains the most popular item on the menu. It is a quick, affordable bite for a late lunch on 32 Avenue NE, an after-work snack, or a shared plate for the whole family.

"A great spot for japanese street food! We had the classic takoyaki and beef japadog. Both very flavourful and piping hot. Probably one of the only places in Calgary that serves takoyaki fresh off the griddle and not from frozen packs."

"The service was good. The atmosphere was clean. The takoyakis were okay - could be better as they could have bigger toppings. But overall, good."
