For those of you who drink coffee on a regular basis, do you know what really tastes good? I drink it every day, but I had no idea lol This time, I stopped by Akita-ya, a mobile coffee shop that travels around Funabashi City, and I got hooked on it more than I expected, and the owner told me what high-quality coffee is, so I'd like to share it with you💕 I definitely want everyone to try it! I was surprised that coffee has such a clean aftertaste and is so delicious! I've already reserved some coffee beans! Akita-ya apparently distinguishes between good and bad beans by hand. That's amazing. And what surprised me the most is that it tastes good no matter who makes it! ⇨ Indeed, even when I looked at the drip section, they didn't seem to be particularly particular about drip! I really could do it! It seems to be expanding around Funabashi, so please check out Akita-ya Coffee! #Akita-ya #Coffee #LifewithCoffee #Funabashi #Nishi-Funabashi #Fritabi

Uodon-ya next Funabashi A seafood bowl restaurant boasting the largest variety of products in Japan, grand opening on the 1st floor of the station building "next Funabashi" at Keisei Funabashi Station🐟 You can drop in on your way back from a trip by train✨️ The number of products is said to be more than 140,000 in total! Everything in the store is self-service, you take the food you receive at the counter to your seat yourself, and clean up after yourself.

DAISO Giga Funabashi Store The largest DAISO store, with the entire building from the 1st to 6th floors being DAISO, is located right in front of Funabashi Station! Unlike other DAISOs in the area, the inside has a wide selection of products✨️ I think there is probably nothing you can't buy from DAISO...! One thing to note is that there is no parking⚠️ Since it's in front of the station, most people probably come by train or bicycle rather than by car. Also, all the cash registers are self-service, so the turnover is good, but sometimes there are lines, so you have to walk through the winding shelves to get to the cash register! 🚶 Address: 1-6-3 Honmachi, Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture Business hours: 10:00-21:00 Access: 1 minute walk from Keisei Funabashi Station #Spring0yenTrip

The regular shrimp soba is rich and delicious, but if you want to feel the stronger shrimp flavor, I recommend choosing the thick one👍 Address: 1-10-7 Honmachi, Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture Menu ・Ebi Soba 900 yen ・Thick shrimp soba 1000 yen #Spring 0 yen trip #Ebi Soba #Ramen #Ramen tour #Funabashi gourmet

There are 7 types of condiments on the table, so you can make your own abura soba with various flavors✨️ You can enjoy different flavors every time you go! I've been there twice and tried three types of abura soba: regular abura soba, back fat soba (I had a little of my companion's), and spicy abura soba. As the explanation on the table says, the abura soba has a stronger flavor than the back fat abura soba, and I preferred the regular one! 👍 The spicy abura soba was just the right amount of spicy for me, who doesn't particularly like spicy food, and I was able to mix it with the noodles and finish the soup🙆 Address: 4-41-29 Honmachi, Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture #Spring0yentrip #Aburasoba #FunabashiGourmet #AburaKadabra #Funabashi #ChibaGourmet #Chiba

Yanagi Sushi Co., Ltd. A long-established sushi restaurant with a large parking lot, about a 10-minute walk from Funabashi-Hoden Station. 🍣 We called in with a group of six adults on the day without a reservation, but the chef and his apprentice warmly welcomed us. 🙆 The counter and table seats in the restaurant are very clean and neat, and in a good way, it doesn't feel like an old restaurant. ✨️ We enjoyed sushi at a leisurely pace in a semi-private room! I think you can order for about 2,000 to 4,000 yen per person! Address: 2-300 Kamiyama-cho, Funabashi-shi, Chiba #Spring0yentrip #YanagiSushi #SushiGourmet #FunabashiGourmet #ChibaGourmet
