LOCAL FOOD GUIDE

Local food and restaurants in Hyogo

Hyogo is home to Kobe beef and to Akashi’s akashiyaki. The latter are soft, egg-rich dumplings containing octopus, dipped in broth before eating. They are quite different from sauce-topped takoyaki.

Local dishes to try in Hyogo

  • Kobe beef
  • Akashiyaki

Choosing a meal in Hyogo

Kobe beef belongs on a Kobe food search; akashiyaki comes from nearby Akashi. Both are Hyogo specialities, but they are not from the same city. Match the dish to the stop you are making.

Tips for choosing a restaurant

Plan a Kobe beef meal in Kobe or try akashiyaki during an Akashi stop. If the trip includes a Kinosaki onsen stay, leave room for any meals served by your ryokan.
