Funamachi
Akashi-yaki specialist established in 1958. Only 13 seats but perpetually queued. Famous for its fluffy, creamy egg batter and plump Akashi octopus. TripAdvisor Akashi #1 and top in a local readers' poll.
'Over 40 years of consistent quality.' 'Firm batter, delicious, and big octopus pieces.' 'Undoubtedly the best akashi-yaki in town.' TripAdvisor 4.4 (#1 of 532 in Akashi), Tabelog 3.68 (1,321 reviews). Some minor notes about quality variation after generational handover but overall rating remains high.
