🍜 Gyoza Specialty Store Akiman Motomachi Branch

A dumpling specialty shop that has been in business for over 60 years is praised as one of the best in Kobe. Located near Motomachi Station, it is marked by a red awning. The interior is small, featuring only counter seating and three tables, often resulting in long lines before opening. There is also a branch in Sannomiya. Each order consists of seven dumplings, with a crispy and fragrant outer skin and a filling that is juicy yet not greasy, offering a simple flavor with rich texture. The dumplings are bite-sized, making it easy to eat two orders at once. The dipping sauce is a homemade miso sauce available on the table, with options to add chili oil or vinegar to suit personal taste. The menu only includes dumplings, bottled beer, and non-alcoholic beer. Dumplings can only be ordered on the first visit, and on weekends and public holidays, each person must order at least two portions. The shop closes once the dumplings are sold out, so it is recommended to reserve a meal in advance by phone or in person. Additionally, both raw and pan-fried dumplings are available for takeout.
