Meets at MOMO to SAKE (second floor); search the shop name for the address

Why it is on this site

You make the takoyaki yourself, with wagyu and cheese among the fillings, and taste from more than ten sakes with a sommelier who explains how to choose one.
The listing gives only the shop name, MOMO to SAKE, so look up the address before the day and allow 25-35 minutes by subway each way from Tempozan.
