Funamachi - Akashi

Good, but the lines are incredible from the very morning

There will be a line, and that line will be extremely slow-moving. If you 're limited on time, there are many places closer to the station which serve this Akashi-yaki dish, although they might not be the best, like this joint is. The shop itself is tiny, and you 'll probably sit with or near strangers at your table, but it works. It 's got a nice mom-and-pop atmosphere. The food was superb! ¥650 for a sheet of 20; you have to order in multiples of 20, which seems like a lot, but they 're actually pretty small so it should be fine unless you 're a super small eater. You can dip them in the broth or add toppings as you like.

Nice place, my first akashiyaki. Seems like this place I a top one, because after I came and spoke about everyone knows this place . Service was nice and the food very tasty. Be aware of usually you will lineup outside for a while

Amazaing akashiaki balls at a reasonable price. 550 for 20. You cant go wrong. Only downside is the crazy que thats almost always there. I got talking with some locals and it made for a heck of an experience. One thing i would add, be gentle with the chop sticks lol

Unfortunately this time rhey were closed. (shop holidays are Friday and 2nd and 4th Thursday. anyway i had visited here many times. this is the best akashiyaki shop in the world.
