About this place
Gindaco Highball Tavern Yoshizuka Branch is an izakaya centred on takoyaki, with small plates and teppan-grilled dishes on the menu too. Alongside the classic “Zettai Umai!! Takoyaki” are options with distinct flavour profiles: negi-dako served with grated-daikon ponzu dipping sauce, teritama, cheese and mentaiko, and Sichuan mala mayonnaise. A reviewer mentioned the rich seafood-umami takoyaki (8 pieces) and sauce yakisoba as dishes to order, making them options whether you want to focus on takoyaki or add a teppan dish for a more substantial meal.
There are also snacks such as meat shumai, smoked potato salad and smoked chicken tataki, so you can pick a few different things rather than sticking to takoyaki alone. One diner said they enjoyed having dishes beyond takoyaki, while another highlighted the range of snacks. That gives you room to put together an order for a second-stop drink or a meal with a few small plates.
Drinks include Kakubin highballs, lemon sours and Tako Highballs, with versions featuring blood orange or pickled plum also listed. One diner appreciated being able to enjoy beer or a highball from lunchtime, making a daytime drink with takoyaki or snacks an option. The listed hours are 11:30 to 14 and 15 to 23 on weekdays, and 11:30 to 22:30 on weekends and public holidays.
