About this place
If you come for the akashiyaki, start by dipping a piece in dashi. At Ekitei, these soft, round bites are cooked to order. Some diners describe the light, fluffy batter coming apart in the broth, with the chew of octopus adding a pleasing contrast. Akashiyaki is also available with a drink, and is an easy choice whether you want a light bite or something to enjoy alongside a drink.
For lunch, consider the yakisoba or yakiudon set meal. Each comes with a small side dish, pickles, rice and miso soup; the listed price is ¥700. One diner who ordered the yakisoba with 2 portions of noodles commented that the sauce clung well to the noodles and made for a satisfying meal.
For a few more bites, there is oden, octopus and teppanyaki. An oden set meal is also available, while the à la carte options include daikon, egg, octopus sashimi and octopus with cucumber and plum dressing. Whether you make akashiyaki the focus or opt for a more substantial set meal, the menu lets you choose to suit your appetite.
