Tanota Takoyaki is a beloved Japanese spot in the heart of Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, specializing in freshly made takoyaki with a distinctive twist. Their batter is crafted from a rich broth stewed for over five hours, combining chicken broth, konbu, bonito, and more than ten kinds of fruits and vegetables blended into an original flour base. The result is a puffy shell with a creamy, soft inside that sets Tanota apart from the typical takoyaki experience. Sauce options range from the classic OG style with their house Tanota Takoyaki Sauce to flavors like mentaiko, ponzu, and jalapeño. The owner honed the craft at a renowned Osaka takoyaki restaurant in 2009, and that dedication to tradition shines through.
Tanota Takoyaki is located at 350 E 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, right in the heart of Little Tokyo.
