Before I fell in love with Korean foods, I fell for
Japanese foods first. Their udon, tempura, katsu, and takoyaki are my favorites
(no sushi for me). I’d say that takoyaki is my most favorite; seriously, I can
eat at least 50 takoyaki balls in one seat! I have heard about Tamayaki since
last year, but didn’t get a chance to try it myself because they don’t have any
branch near me. Until recently when I was invited to try their best sellers at
their SM North Edsa branch. Luckily, I have a class that day and coming from
Makati is way easier. To those who are still not familiar with Tamayaki, here’s
a short introduction about them.
Tamayaki is a well-established franchise, which originated in China that specializes in making quality Takoyaki balls. Our takoyaki comes in various delectable, mouthwatering, and innovative flavors that are sure to fit the taste palate of both the old and the young generation. –Taken from Tamayaki Facebook page
Tamayaki SM North Edsa branch is so retro. They have this
Shibuya-ambiance inside which is really nice! You will really enjoy eating your
favorite takoyaki at Tamayaki because of their playful and fancy interior.

What makes Tamayaki different to other takoyaki stores is that they combined the traditional Japanese takoyaki flavor with the new generation taste. They have at least 12 flavors of takoyaki that will definitely suit the different taste buds of their customers. Tamayaki also offers a number of Milk tea flavors.
Tamayaki let us taste all their takoyaki flavors and I was
surprised to see that their takoyaki balls are bigger than the usual ones. One serving
includes 4 takoyaki balls and you can decide what sauce you’d like to add –sweet
or spicy. Also, you can’t differentiate the flavors of their takoyaki when
served because they actually all looked the same – topped with squid flakes and
nori. Don’t worry about getting your orders mixed up with your friends since
Tamayaki will put a sticker label on each box.My favorite flavors are Kani & Shrimp Original, Seasoned Octopus, Mussle Cheese, and Korean Pork Barbeque. The takoyakis’ were filled with vegetables and the flavor of your choice. Four takoyaki are enough make you full – no joke.
As for their drinks, I recommend the cheese milk tea with
pearl and the mango yogurt with popballs. These drinks are the best to partner
with their takoyaki. Either hot or cold will do; I prefer cold though.
Overall, Tamayaki is the best place to have a merienda! At first I thought that their takoyakis’ are a bit pricey but after trying, the price is just right and actually cheap. You’ll never know unless you try it. So what are you waiting for? Go to Tamayaki now!
