About this spot
Hachi Hachi Otsuka Honten serves up crispy takoyaki balls with a sweet-savory sauce that locals swear by, all within the bustling Izakaya atmosphere of Tsukiji. The menu also features akashiyaki, grilled scallops served on skewers that you should ask for at the counter to watch them cook. This spot captures the authentic energy of Tokyo's seafood district without the tourist traps.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a set meal (teishoku) to get a balanced mix of takoyaki and grilled fish without ordering too many items individually.
- Ask the staff if you can eat at the counter for a front-row view of the chef flipping the octopus balls.
- Bring cash, as this traditional Izakaya often does not accept credit cards or mobile payment apps.
