Takoyaki is a famous Japanese dish made from dough, octopus and vegetables. Using a traditional Japanese style Takoyaki maker it is easy and fun for anyone to grill up these delicious balls. Being so simple, delicious, and fun to make, a culture has evolved around this Osakan specialty. In Japan people will often hold a “tako-pa” (a combination of the words Takoyaki and party) with their friends. Experience this unique Japanese culture for yourself by joining some locals for a “tako-pa” in Shinjuku. Drink like a local with the locals and make all kinds of different Takoyaki to try. Drink as much you want and try cooking up some octopus for yourself. Learn the ins and outs of Japanese drinking culture firsthand. Then enjoy a leisurely night stroll back towards the station.
