Honke Kimuraya
A long-established favorite where you can enjoy expertly made Akashiyaki.
Honke Kimuraya is a specialty Akashiyaki restaurant within walking distance of JR Akashi Station. Founded in 1924, this long-established eatery has been loved for many years by both locals and visitors. Its appeal lies in the traditional flavor it has preserved since its founding and the carefully crafted taste of each piece, grilled one by one by skilled artisans.
Its signature dish is Akashiyaki, made with fluffy batter and fresh octopus sourced every morning. Because each order is cooked after it is placed, you can enjoy the texture and aroma that only freshly made Akashiyaki can offer. Dipping it in the restaurant’s special broth brings out the sweetness of the egg and the rich flavor of the octopus. The menu also includes oden, and the “Tako” with a whole octopus leg simmered in broth is also popular.
The interior has a calm atmosphere that reflects its long history, with Approx. 30 counter and table seats in total. It is also close to sightseeing spots such as Akashi Castle and Uonotana Shopping Street, so you can enjoy both a meal and a stroll. This is a place where you can enjoy artisan-made Akashiyaki at your own pace by dipping it into broth.
