AI Spot Summary
Takoyaki is renowned for its soft and tender filling and crispy exterior. The combination of bonito flakes and mayonnaise is just right, and the freshness of the octopus pieces is satisfying. The overall seasoning is excellent.
The restaurant is located in Osaka's Shinsaibashi American Village, near Triangle Park, but the park's environment is not very clean.

【Foodholic Nako @ Osaka, Japan】
Although I'm not a big fan of traditional soft Japanese takoyaki, this place caught my attention because it has a Michelin recommendation, so I was curious to check it out.
"Mitsubishi Takoyaki Kōgaru Honten" is located in the America Village area of Shinsaibashi, Osaka, right in front of Triangle Park, so there were quite a few people who, like us, bought takoyaki and sat in the park to eat.
PS: However, the park isn't very clean; the ground is quite littered.
Original Takoyaki ¥600
There are a total of ten pieces, but they are relatively small, and if you're not afraid of burning your mouth, you can pop them in whole.
They’re topped with lots of finely shredded bonito flakes and drizzled with mayonnaise, but not so much that it makes you feel sick.
The fillings are soft enough that you might question whether they’re cooked, and while the takoyaki itself isn’t large, the pieces of octopus make up a good portion of it. They taste very fresh, the outside is crispy, and the seasoning is nice. If I have the chance to pass by again, I'd be willing to visit again.
