Kobe, Hyogo, Japan｜Akaman

A quick Gyoza place located in Motomachi, Kobe. Kobe has so many Chinese restaurants and food stalls and all, but when you try it, you'll be definitely convinced this tiny place has been continuing this business for more than a decade. People here typically use miso tare with Gyoza. Definitely the best version of Gyoza I've tried in Japan.

I'm not sure if this place is called Akaman anymore? The sign has changed. But the rules are still the same. When you come in, you get to order once - though how much you can order at once seems unlimited. One plate is 7 gyoza, and three are enough to fill me to bursting. A lot of sauce options are on offer (including actual spicy spice!) and the ladies who run it are friendly and can speak a little English.

Incredible no nonsense gyoza.
