Although it is a local, it is a pop-up shop that caters to tourists.They change the menu quickly and without discipline, and they don't have to be particular about it.I recommend going to Naka Uka Osho.

I went there, is it open? It felt like.The store was dark and there was no response when I pressed the intercom, but the climbing flag was out.I came here because it was featured in a magazine, but I was disappointed.

I took out Takoyaki here. If you want to eat something outside near the Kamogawa River or Kamigamo Shrine, this seems like a good option.

Before I entered the store, two women had entered the store.Then I went right in and ordered takoyaki and shaved ice.Takoyaki was served immediately, but two more groups entered the store.It's been a long time since then...By the time I forget, would you like some shaved ice?No, I'm waiting!Well, other people's evaluations are only as good as they are.I really realized how important it is to be considerate in a store.

It's a whole octopus, but you can eat a variety of things.They also have beer, but I would like to see more types of alcohol available.

The sauce was sour and spicy (medium spicy), and there was so much on it that it became difficult to eat halfway through. It would have been better to use less sauce or a different flavored sauce such as ginger soy sauce. I received it freshly baked, but it wasn't very hot (nor was it cold), so it was still warm enough to pop a whole piece into my mouth. Personally, I like takoyaki that is so hot inside that it almost burns me. Also, I think 600 yen for 8 pieces is a bit expensive for this local location...
