What other travelers are saying about Asakusa Tako Tako x Koromo Brothers
Taco Taco Asakusa seems to get mixed reviews, but I beg to differ. The staff were friendly and took the time to explain the ordering rules clearly — if you choose to sit inside, each person needs to order a set, which was fair and reasonable.
We tried the fried mochi with red bean and the Japanese-style sandwich with taco filling, both of which were surprisingly nice and fluffy. Simple, comforting, and well done.
Good spot for a quick pit stop while exploring Asakusa.
Takosen is Asakusa Tako Tako x Koromo Brothers' signature creation that revolutionizes traditional takoyaki. It consists of two takoyaki dumplings sandwiched between giant shrimp crackers and topped with takoyaki sauce, mayonnaise, and koromo (crispy tempura batter). This innovative dish makes takoyaki portable and easier to eat while walking, perfect for exploring Asakusa's streets. The takosen costs ¥600 and should be eaten immediately as the crackers soften quickly.
The pricing is quite affordable for Tokyo standards. A set of five traditional takoyaki costs ¥750, while the popular takosen is ¥600. Additional items include black wagyu beef croquettes for ¥350 and deep-fried manju ranging from ¥450 to ¥550 depending on the filling (red bean paste, camembert cheese, or matcha custard). Most visitors spend between ¥600-1,200 for a satisfying meal.
Asakusa Tako Tako x Koromo Brothers specializes in fuwatoro texture takoyaki, which features a distinctively fluffy outer layer with a thick, stew-like consistency inside. This preparation differs significantly from the firmer, more traditional Osaka-style takoyaki found elsewhere. The unique texture combined with their innovative serving methods has made them a standout destination in Tokyo's competitive street food scene.
Asakusa Octopus x Koromo Brothers stands out for its collaboration concept, combining expertise from multiple takoyaki specialists. They serve freshly made octopus balls with crispy exteriors and creamy interiors, using traditional Osaka-style techniques in Tokyo's most historic district, offering an authentic Japanese street food experience.
bad experience. my wife ordered some foods, but this lady Don't let the kids come inside the store. And said the kids have to order to come inside. 3.4stars for Google review. Good Luck.
Thus shop caught my attention twice! Randomly saw and bookmarked this shop 3 years ago, and today I walked past and again thought it looked like a shop i should try. Bought a ring potato croquette and red bean and cheese mochi. They were so nice! Especially thr red bean and cheese combination. Salty and sweet with a nice crunch outside and chewy mochi. Totally worth it!
I was roaming around Asakusa and saw a sign for a tako taco which interested me! Being half Asian and half Hispanic, I was pleasantly surprised by the restaurant’s twist on words. The takoyaki was flavorful and warm while the cracker was crispy. When I was ordering, I was worried about my limited Japanese but the young guy working the register was quick to switch to English when I asked! I chose to eat inside and there was plenty of seating at the time.
