This street stall in the bustling heart of Dotombori makes some of the best takoyaki (chunks of octopus grilled in a savory batter) in town. Takoyaki is not a meal, but a snack. The usually long, but fast-moving, line is proof of Honke Otako's popularity. Daily 10 am-11 pm. $. ¥300 for six balls. Cash only. 1-5-10 Dotombori (nearest station: Namba on the Midosuji subway line), Chuo-ku, Osaka. Phone 6211-5223.
