Menu items made with Akashi-dai (Akashi Sea Bream), another local specialty alongside "Akashi-dako (Akashi octopus)," are also popular. The tai-meshi (Sea Bream rice), in particular, is said to be so good, with the delicious broth of the Sea Bream really coming through, that you will want another serving.
They also have a good selection of drinks, including sparkling Japanese sake with a clean taste that goes down easily and rare labels.

First, we toasted with beer. The tsukidashi (small appetizer) had a gentle flavor with just the right amount of salt. We ordered another beer, then kanburi (winter yellowtail) sashimi and agedashi eggplant topped with tororo (grated yam). We also had a highball, Imo Shochu, grilled Sea Bream head with salt, and simmered anago (conger eel). Both the ingredients and the seasoning were high quality. Everyone was happy with the taste. When the food is good, the drinks, chopsticks, and conversation all keep moving. With a pleasant buzz, everyone was in a great mood.

When we entered the restaurant, we were shown to the second floor, and before long it looked completely full, so it seemed to be a popular spot. We ordered from the à la carte menu, mainly seafood dishes, and every dish was very good. In a Kansai-like touch, they had hamo (pike conger) yubiki (briefly parboiled) and tempura. The most memorable dish was the tai (Sea Bream) rice, where you could really taste the rich flavor of the Sea Bream.

The fried oysters with ankake (starchy sauce) had a gently sweet flavor, with that kind of sauce you only really find in Japanese food. Tartar sauce is nice too, but I liked the ankake better. For the ozukuri (sashimi platter), they served ashi-naga ebi (long-legged shrimp). Even the hot Japanese sake came in a cute hippari dako (octopus-shaped vessel), and paired with the squid ink, it made for an adorable picture. Haha. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back every time a new dish appears, and they also have a wide selection of Japanese sake

When I opened the hideaway-like door and stepped inside, they showed me to a Private room. The course menu was handwritten and had a warm feel. The meal featured 12 dishes made with seasonal ingredients, and everything was so good that I couldn't even rank which dish was the best. I would like to visit again.

It is in a good location, close to the station. We got in at just the right time, so lucky✌️We ordered the hamayaki assortment, hamaguri (hard clam), mentaiko dashimaki omelet, oyster oden, and octopus carpaccio. The assortment came with 2 of Each (shrimp, oyster, shishamo (smelt), and hotate (scallop)), and none of them were small, so we felt Manzoku after eating❗️The staff were also attentive, and the food was delicious, so it was a really nice place♪

We had octopus carpaccio, hamaguri (hard clam) hama-yaki (grilled on the beach style), 2F potato salad, mentaiko (spicy cod roe) Teppan-yaki Akashiyaki, monkfish Kara-age, and croquette oden. The octopus carpaccio had a nice springy texture. The hama-yaki was fun too, and the croquette oden was crispy on the outside and creamy inside, much better than expected.

The "takomeshi (octopus rice)" and "mushi anago no hakozushi (boxed sushi with steamed conger eel)" are also available for Takeout.

One is their signature tako (octopus). It has a nice springy bite yet stays tender, and the more you chew, the more sweetness comes out, making it the very peak of Akashimae (Akashi-style). Its fresh, almost translucent look and rich flavor were truly impressive. And the other is anago-zushi (conger eel sushi). The anago is simmered until plump and tender, then coated in a special sweet-savory sauce that melts in your mouth.

An excellent restaurant with refined flavors. Since it specializes in anago (conger eel), tako (octopus), and Sea Bream, the overall quality is very high. I personally thought the simmered liver and ochazuke (rice with tea or broth) were outstanding. I think this is a famous place you will want to come back to again and again.

I took a seat at the counter and started with a draft beer. The otoshi (small appetizer) was a prosciutto salad. It paired perfectly with the drinks right from the start. Then came the 5-skewer yakitori assortment. This was real yakitori, with five different cuts grilled over charcoal. I quickly switched to red wine and added an avocado and small shrimp salad. Avocado and red wine were a great match.

The yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) may be small, but each skewer is juicy and packed with flavor. The chicken skin, on the other hand, is nicely grilled and really good. It goes great with chuhai (shochu highball). In between, the crisp green peppers keep things nice and refreshing. The tsukune (chicken meatball skewer) is also full of juicy flavor when you bite into it, and it is really tasty. This is the kind of place you will want to come back to again and again.

I think the speedy service and the quality of the food are both excellent. It is also easy to use for Banquets in a Private room, and they can accommodate large groups, so I think I will keep coming back! The freshness of the seafood and the presentation are great too! The Chicken sashimi (served raw) and the extra large fried oysters are dishes I absolutely love, and I really hope you will try them.

Gyoza Shokudo Maruken JR Okubo Eki is about a 2-minute walk from the north exit of JR Okubo Station, and is part of a chain with locations mainly in the Kansai and Chugoku (western Honshu) regions.
You can enjoy the restaurant’s signature Maruken Yaki Gyoza (pan-fried dumplings) along with drinks that pair well with gyoza.

The house-made "Maruken Yaki Gyoza (pan-fried dumplings)" is made without garlic. Its thin wrapper pairs perfectly with the juicy filling, lightly flavored with ginger.
With plenty of variety, including "Yatai Gyoza (street-stall dumplings)" and "Cheese Bari Gyoza," it would be fun to compare and try different kinds.

The refillable sours and the “Sharikin Lemon Sour” topped with shaved ice are said to pair perfectly with the Chinese food.
There were also many reviews saying the course menu is very filling and offers great value for money.

The "Yatai Gyoza (street stall dumplings)" are also pan-fried right to the limit. The crispiness is outstanding, and after that crackly bite, the rich flavor of the filling comes rushing in. They are superb dumplings. And then the "Tsukune Mayo (chicken meatballs with mayo)," which has hooked us every time it has shown up on the menu lately, arrived. The tsukune has a firm, meaty texture, while the outside has a light crispness

I heard that course meals can be reserved On-the-Day, so I ordered the Tokutoku Course for JPY1650‼️With 10 dishes, this price is a great deal. I added the same-priced All you can drink option (with beer). The food came out one after another at a good pace, and I was Manzoku to enjoy a little bit of many different dishes‼️There was also a pretty good selection of drinks, and I ended up drinking too much.
