Hotland Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Morio Sase), which operates Tsukiji Gindaco domestically and internationally, will release the seafood-based "Umami Takoyaki" for a limited time at Tsukiji Gindaco stores nationwide (excluding some stores) starting Monday, June 8, 2026.
With growing interest in "dashi" (broth) and "umami" in recent years, Tsukiji Gindaco developed this product with the desire to express Japan's unique food culture through takoyaki.
The batter is infused with an original dashi containing seaweed (aosa) for a coastal aroma, various seafood broths, and dried shrimp powder. The star of the takoyaki, the fresh, plump octopus, is hand-cut piece by piece, a signature commitment of Tsukiji Gindaco that releases more flavor the more you chew.
Centered on the theme of "umami," the product uses eight carefully selected ingredients, including bonito, shrimp powder, dried sardines, and mackerel flakes, allowing you to enjoy the aroma of seafood and deep richness that spreads the moment you take a bite.
The rich seafood umami layers perfectly with Gindaco's signature "crispy outside, creamy inside" texture, creating a satisfying experience in every bite. Furthermore, the savory takoyaki is topped with a special sweet soy-based sauce infused with rich dashi from dried sardines (anchovies) and bonito, creating a lingering "umami finish" that keeps you wanting more. It is a special seasonal dish characterized by its appetizing aroma and deep dashi flavor.
Product Developer Comment:
Ibusuki City in Kagoshima Prefecture is one of Japan's top three production areas for bonito flakes. By sprinkling the provided packet of bonito flakes (produced in Ibusuki, Kagoshima) just before eating, the flavor and umami are further enhanced, allowing you to enjoy the takoyaki even more!
