Asakusa Tako Tako x Koromo Brothers

3.4 (356)Meal TakeawayRestaurantFoodPoint Of InterestEstablishment

Asakusa Tako Tako x Koromo Brothers stands as one of Tokyo's premier takoyaki destinations, located in the historic Asakusa district of Taito ward. This popular establishment has gained recognition for revolutionizing the traditional Osaka street food by creating the signature takosen, a unique fusion dish that has become synonymous with Asakusa's modern street food scene.

The restaurant's specialty lies in its distinctive fuwatoro texture takoyaki, featuring a fluffy outer layer with a thick, stew-like consistency inside that differs from traditional preparations. The establishment is renowned for creating takosen, an innovative dish that sandwiches two takoyaki dumplings between giant shrimp crackers, drizzled with takoyaki sauce, mayonnaise, and koromo (crispy tempura batter). This handheld creation allows visitors to experience takoyaki in an entirely new format, making it ideal for exploring Asakusa's busy streets.

Visitors can choose between traditional takoyaki sets of five pieces for ¥750 or the signature takosen for ¥600. The menu extends beyond takoyaki to include ring-shaped black wagyu beef croquettes for ¥350 and deep-fried manju with various fillings ranging from ¥450 to ¥550, including red bean paste, camembert cheese, and matcha custard options. The establishment transforms into an izakaya after 6pm, offering classic Japanese pub fare alongside their specialty items.

Asakusa Tako Tako x Koromo Brothers is easily accessible via multiple train lines serving Asakusa Station, including the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, Toei Asakusa Line, Tsukuba Express, and Tobu Skytree Line. The restaurant operates within walking distance of major attractions like Sensoji Temple and sits along Asakusa's famous shopping streets. No admission fee is required, as this is a casual dining establishment where visitors pay only for their food orders. The takosen is best consumed immediately after purchase, as the shrimp cracker base begins to soften within minutes of preparation.

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.

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.
