Britney

I have just arrived in Senbayashi, Osaka. I would love to try something delicious and local.

Burio-kun

Osaka means takoyaki! And takoyaki means Takoyaki Zipangu!

Zipangu serves takoyaki in several flavours, as well as other delicious food to eat inside. The shop is near the middle of Kyokaido Shopping Street. On the way there…

Burio-kun

Oh! My stomach does not feel right…

Dark Benza

Heh heh heh… Serves Burio right!

Oh no! Thanks to Dark Benza, Burio-kun is at risk of a bowel accident.

Mr Mizuno, owner

Are you all right, Burio-kun? Hurry and use our toilet!

Burio-kun

Thank you! You have saved me!

Burio-kun is saved from an accident by the kindness of local people. He and Britney enjoy their takoyaki together.

Dark Benza

Darn it… I really wanted some takoyaki too.

Burio-kun’s recommendation

The original article introduced a “Takoyaki Expo” set, created with the 2025 Osaka Expo in mind. It brought four flavours together on one plate.

Burio-kun

Hot and delicious! Every flavour is great!

Britney’s recommendation

Topped with mentaiko and plenty of cheese.
