Introduction to Waratako's Summer Exclusive

Waratako, operated by SMILE WHO’S, a subsidiary of Hospitality Operations (headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo), is thrilled to announce the launch of its new summer-exclusive dish, Grated Daikon Soy Sauce Takoyaki. Starting from July 19, 2025, this innovative creation is set to bring a refreshing twist to the beloved Japanese street food. Available at all Waratako locations nationwide (with some exceptions), this dish promises to be a delicious addition to the summer menu.

What Makes Grated Daikon Soy Sauce Takoyaki Special?

This summer-exclusive dish is designed to provide a cooling experience, especially on hot days. The Grated Daikon Soy Sauce Takoyaki features a crispy exterior and a wonderfully gooey interior, satisfying texture that both locals and visitors will appreciate. It is topped generously with refreshing grated daikon and accompanied by a specially crafted soy sauce that balances the flavors beautifully. This dish offers a clean finish, making it easy to enjoy even in the sweltering summer heat.

The Culinary Craft Behind Waratako

Waratako prides itself on serving authentic Kansai-style takoyaki, renowned for its light and fluffy texture. Unlike traditional preparation methods that involve deep frying, Waratako utilizes an expert cooking technique that ensures the takoyaki is both healthy and delicious. Each ingredient, including octopus, flour, green onions, and water, is carefully selected to ensure high quality. By using minimal oil, Waratako maintains lower calories while still delivering a savory, crispy outside and a hot, gooey inside. In addition to the Grated Daikon variety, customers can also indulge in popular staples such as Salt Green Onion Mayonnaise Takoyaki and Mentaiko Mayonnaise Takoyaki.
