Kakujoe Uorui has launched its striking Iidako Takoyaki at another Saitama location, with sales beginning at the Soka store on October 31, 2026. Each piece is made with a whole baby octopus that extends visibly from the crisp, round takoyaki.
The Soka release will be available on weekends and national holidays, with sales taking place during store hours. The special tent will serve the takoyaki from 9:00 a.m. on weekends and holidays, although service may end early if the day’s supply sells out.
Iidako Takoyaki comes in a six-piece pack for ¥800 (tax included). Kakujoe Uorui’s Kawaguchi store also offers a six-piece pack of Shrimp Yaki with cheese for ¥800 (tax included), while the Soka rollout currently highlights Iidako Takoyaki.
About Kakujoe Uorui’s seafood takoyaki

Seafood guidance at the counter
Kakujoe Uorui’s knowledgeable customer service staff help shoppers choose fish and understand preparation options at the seafood counter.
Fish preparation service
The seafood counter can prepare customers’ fish for cooking, helping shoppers take home unfamiliar varieties with greater confidence.
Sushi selection
Kakujoe Uorui offers sushi portions for individual diners as well as larger groups, alongside its fresh seafood selection.
Sashimi platters
The stores also carry assorted sashimi platters, including presentations featuring whole fish, for meals at home or shared occasions.
Freshly prepared seafood dishes
Customers can find a range of freshly fried and grilled seafood dishes at Kakujoe Uorui, complementing the store’s fresh fish offerings.
Kakujoe Uorui is a specialist seafood retailer, and the takoyaki reflects that focus. The outside is cooked until crisp, while the center remains soft and creamy. The whole baby octopus adds a firm bite and a rich seafood flavor, creating a dish that looks very different from standard takoyaki.
