Why You Should Visit
A takoyaki party at EGGPLANT, a cafe-bar in Sannomiya, where everyone takes a turn at the griddle. It's a relaxed get-together for anyone who hasn't made takoyaki in a while — nobody here is a pro, so lopsided balls are fine. Grill, drink, and share what comes off the plate. If 10 people show up, there's also a round of Russian roulette takoyaki: one ball hides a surprise, and whoever gets it receives 100 yen off a drink. Drop-ins welcome.
NOTE
Three house rules
- No backseat grilling
- Everyone grills together (nobody's a pro)
- Don't worry if it isn't round
Russian roulette takoyaki
- Whoever gets the one surprise ball receives 100 yen off a drink
- Held if 10 people gather
