The story of Tako Tao actually began in Japan, when, several years ago, our founder made his way into the streets of the Kansai area in search of new food experiences. He took a rather unusual long pause in the city of Osaka, pondering, why Takoyaki is all the rage throughout Japan. To the young man, the name Takoyaki – grilled octopus ball filled with shredded cabbage – was just like love at first sight. In fact, he loved the food so much that he was willing to leave his accounting practice behind, and throw himself into the food business. This dream finally became a reality in year 2003 when the first Tako Tao opened its business in his hometown- Malaysia.
