We've just arrived in Shimamoto and we were looking to eat some food. Mokuba was the only place close from us, so we gave it a try.. and to say we almost missed it! We came in a Japanese owned restaurant (a really kind owner) and he welcomed us even with us talking little to no Japanese. The locals we're very very kind as well. It only costed us 1200 yen for 2 people (food + drink) and we stayed like almost an extra hour talking with locals. Some of them knew a tad of English, which made communication much easier, but they were all very welcoming and kind. Will be going there again later and highly recommend anyone to do so. It's a gem ✨

Amazing food. Amazing staff. Must try !

I ate takoyaki for takeout and it was delicious, and because I wanted to eat crispy-fluffy freshly made ones, I also ate inside the restaurant. Takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and yakisoba were all delicious, and you can eat almost all of them for under one coin, so I was extremely satisfied! We also had a small child, but the staff (a couple?) were so kind that the atmosphere was very comfortable. I'll go again.

A takoyaki shop located near JR Shimamoto Station. It has an atmosphere that makes you want to get takeout. Since it was cold outside, I ate in. Takoyaki and yakimeshi. The menu is very extensive. You can also drink beer, etc.

20230114 A shop I found by searching for an okonomiyaki restaurant. Used the dine-in option; there is no teppan at the table, but it was served on an iron plate. Chose takoyaki with sauce and with salt, and personally, the salt one was delicious. The okonomiyaki was average. There is a paid parking lot next to the shop.
