Decent Takoyaki — nothing more, nothing less

Takoyaki at this place was fine. The clean and umami-forward flavour was there but not distinguished. mirin was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

seasonal ingredients guide the menu in traditional settings. The a high-end kaiseki setting setting was generic rather than immersive. sake was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Takoyaki it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
