Crab Takoyaki swaps in sweet, delicate crab for a softer, more fragrant version of the classic. The dashi batter still gives you that crisp shell and creamy centre, while the crab adds a gentle sweetness that the takoyaki sauce and Japanese mayo lift beautifully. Bonito flakes, nori and green onion finish every order.
Crab is one of the most rewarding fillings for takoyaki because it is subtle - it needs the dashi batter around it rather than a heavy sauce fighting it. We keep the seasoning restrained so the crab reads clearly in the middle of each ball.
Seafood lovers in northeast Calgary treat this as their default order, and it is a smart pick if you want something a little lighter than the meat-heavy Ultimate. Cooked on the griddle to order, as always.

"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."

"I highly recommend visiting this establishment for Takoyaki, particularly on Tuesdays when they offer a special promotion: buy one, get one free. They have a wide variety of topping options available. Additionally, the Japanese dessert Taiyaki, filled with custard, is delightful."
