My home town...

well well well...
My home town is Akashi/Kobe.
I love my home town so much!

I am Kobe-born girl, and grew up in Akashi.

About the FOOD, Akashi have lots of sea food and especially octopus is famous.
Our special product is fresh sea foods and octopus fritters
a.k.a. " Akashi-yaki".

Since I was a little, I always eat Akashi-yaki when I visit the shopping arcade.
There have a lot of Akashi-yaki stands.
Lately, many tourist visit AKashi and eat Akashi-yaki.

By the way, "Akashi-yaki" and just normal "octopus fritters" are totally different!
Did anybody know that????

Basically, octopus fritters is well-cooked by special pan.
Then, put some sauce with it and eat.
But, Akashi-yaki is not so burned the outside (not so well-cooked).
And, we don't put any sauce. We dip it into the soup!
It is REALLY teasty!!!!!!!

Akashi-yaki is more plain dish than normal octopus fritters.
So, its easy to eat for everyone!





If you have any chance to come Akashi, you definitely go and eat Akashi-yaki!! :)

Moreover, AKashi have loooong bridge, "Akashi Kaikyou bridge"!!
It is really beautiful both day time and night time.
Especially night time illuminate the bridge with many lights.
(8:00 p.m. is my favorite!) haha




so, please come come come to my beautiful home town AKASHI!!!
