Nara's Autumn Season for Sightseeing and Eating on Nara Sanjo Street

Nara is now in the autumn tourist season, and the city is crowded with many tourists this year. The autumn leaves in Nara Park, where bowing deer are popular among foreign tourists, will be at their best from now on, and the number of tourists will increase even more. One of the most enjoyable parts of sightseeing is eating and walking around. Many Japanese and foreign tourists can be seen enjoying eating and walking along Nara Sanjo Street, which is close to Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine and a short walk from Kintetsu Nara Station.

[It is takoyaki, but pure white! A gourmet dish that looks immoral!

A three-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station, "Takoyaki Hachibei" is popular for its pure white takoyaki. Located on Nara Sanjo Street near popular tourist spots such as Sarusawa Pond, Kofukuji Temple, and Nara Park, it is popular among both Japanese and foreign tourists. The pure white takoyaki is "takoyaki with mayo. The white mayonnaise sauce is poured all over the takoyaki. It gives a sense of immorality and has a great visual impact. The takoyaki is also topped with a variety of colorful arare (arare).

The surface of the takoyaki is crispy, while the inside is tender and hot. When you take a bite, the flavor of the dashi (Japanese soup stock) flows out at once, and the texture and flavor of the plump octopus spreads in your mouth. The mayonnaise sauce is sweet and addictive, with a moderate acidity. The crunchy arare (arare) texture is also exquisite. One customer commented, "Mayonnaise lovers can't get enough of this. It's an unusual taste. Delicious! The amount of mayo sauce is just amazing. It's not too strong, so you can gobble it up. We hope many people will try it!

We hope many people will try it! Tasting Campaign

Takoyaki Hachibei opened in November 2023 with mayo-sauced takoyaki as its signature menu item. The reason for this is that my wife, who is not a fan of mayonnaise, was impressed by how delicious it was.

In order to create the ideal mayonnaise sauce, we made many prototypes with different formulas and seasonings. It was particularly difficult to make a thick mayonnaise into a thick sauce, which was a challenge to formulate. We also used thick, chewy octopus, which goes well with takoyaki, and we were particular about the dough, which is delicious even when cooked uncooked.

The representative said, "Eating and walking around is one of the pleasures of traveling. We want Nara locals and visitors to enjoy this rare experience and delicious sensation. We will continue to aim to be a restaurant loved by locals and visitors alike." In order to encourage more people to taste this mayo-sweetened takoyaki, Hachibei will offer a free sample of one mayo-sweetened takoyaki to those who purchase 10 takoyaki from November 16 to 30.
