About this place
The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki starts with pork and egg, with toppings such as squid tempura, cheese or extra spring onions to tailor it to your taste. Yakisoba, yaki udon and omelette-topped yakisoba are also available when you would rather make noodles the focus. The okonomiyaki set comes with a drink and a small plate. Choose from draft beer, highballs or lemon sours, and macaroni salad, potato salad, edamame or kimchi. Extra-charge toppings are also offered, so you can start with the set and add the ingredients you like.
Among the teppan dishes, negi-tonpei—tonpei-yaki with plenty of spring onions—is another tempting choice. It is recommended with the soft-cooked egg. The aromatic potato salad is grilled with pork and fried batter bits, whose crisp texture gives the dish its character. It makes an unusual alternative when choosing a small plate to accompany the okonomiyaki. The chicken cartilage meatballs are cooked on the teppan and topped with cheese and shiso; their cartilage has a satisfyingly crunchy bite, making them a promising small plate to pair with a drink. Some diners have also mentioned enjoying the choice of complimentary appetisers and, on occasion, tuna cheek yukhoe. Fish dishes depend on what is available that day, so it can be fun to check what is on offer and choose something to go with a beer or highball.
