    Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Doutombori 1-4-15
    A venerable okonomiyaki savory pancake shop located in Osaka City’s Chuo Ward founded in 1945 in the postwar devastated Minami area. This restaurant sees an unending line of patrons waiting to get in consisting not only of long-going regulars but also tourists from throughout Japan and the world. Harnessing the distinct deliciousness of the ingredients used, the shop’s okonomiyaki taste good even without sauce and are made according to an old fashioned, secret recipe passed down over the years. The shop’s most popular menu item is its “yamaimo-yaki,” a type of okonomiyaki made with Japanese yams instead of flour along with hearty portions of scallops, pork, and shrimp.

    We queued for half an hour but it was worth it. The food was prepared in front of us on a hot bbq plate set into our table. We had a set menu of three different dishes with a variety of tasty treats...

    Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Sennichimae 2-3-17
    Fukutaro located in Chuo Ward, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture is an okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) restaurant and is famous with long queues. The most popular dish is the negiyaki using plenty of green spring onion produced in Osaka. It is an exclusive dish in which the homemade soy based sauce goes well with the flavor of the batter, and the Sujinegiyaki with beef sinew is particularly popular. As seafood such as octopus, scallops and oysters is purchased directly from Osaka Chuo Market, it is freshness itself. There is a range of okonomiyaki with a springy texture and a la carte menu items. Inside the restaurant, it offers an atmosphere of an old-fashioned okonomiyaki restaurant in downtown Osaka. Booking is not available.

    Amazing fresh food served. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The menu’s at the time unfortunately were only available in Japanese but the staff were kind enough to take me through in English...

    Okonomiyaki CHIBO is a restaurant specializing in Okonomiyaki (savory pancakes), located in Dotonbori in the Chuo Ward of Osaka City. The restaurant’s original pancake mix—which is made from around 20 different types of flour mixed with high-quality onsen water—ensures plump pancakes with a mellow flavor. Okonomiyaki CHIBO pays particular attention to its sauces, which play a key role in enhancing the flavor; the restaurant’s low-calorie original sauces are made using carefully-selected fruits and vegetables. The spacious dining area, with around 200 seats, is kept spotlessly clean, and the restaurant is a popular choice for dates and for women to get together with their female friends.

    Visited chibo as we had seen a number of reviews saying there was a vegi and vegan menu. We waited in the queue outside for some time and a staff member asked us to pre order. She said there was no...

    Tokyo Chuou-ku Tsukishima 3-16-9
    A seafood monjayaki savory fried batter restaurant located a four minute walk from exit number 10 of Tsukishima Station. People love the flavor of the dashi broth Moheji uses in its monjayaki, made with eight varieties of seafood. Particularly recommended are the mentaiko walleye pollack, mochi rice cake, and cheese monjayaki. All of the restaurant's seafood is brought in daily from Tsukiji Market, and Moheji also serves seafood teppanyaki. The seafood garlic rice is made by sauteing rice with fragrant garlic and flavorful seafood on the griddle embedded in your table; it goes great with a cup of sake.

    月島もんじゃの人気店です。ただ、駅から離れているからか、他の店に比べると少し空いていました。一人で行きましたが、さすがに多かったです。味はよくて、いい思い出になりました。

  • Hassyou
    Gourmet / Alcohol
    Hiroshima Pref. Hiroshimashinakaku Yagembori 10-6
    A popular okonomiyaki savory pancake restaurant located in Yagembori, Naka Ward, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture which sees lines of customers waiting outside its door day after day. The restaurant’s batter is made with high quality domestic flour and milk and without conventional dashi stock to ensure it does not obstruct the flavor of the sauce. Hassyou puts great effort into its okonomiyaki—the cabbage used is sourced from different locations depending on the season, for example, and Hiroshima noodles are used because they pick up sauce well. The most popular item on the menu, which almost all customers order, is the okonomiyaki soba niku tama—okonomiyaki with soba noodles, meat, and eggs. The restaurant’s scallops, thick-cut beef tongue, and other side dishes are also well-reviewed.

    Besides soft, fluffy Okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancake) made using plenty of delicious yam, Bonkuraya also offers a Teppanyaki menu and a range of set meal options. Inside the restaurant, the walls are covered with the densely-packed signatures of celebrities who have eaten at Bonkuraya; tables near the window provide superb views of the Dotonbori River. Many of the items on the menu are very reasonably priced, and diners can enjoy first-class Teppanyaki that doesn’t cost a fortune. The Petite-yaki Six Varieties, which provides the opportunity to try small portions of several different Teppanyaki dishes, is very popular among female diners and as an alternative for children. Bonkuraya is located around seven minutes’ walk from both Kintetsu Nippombashi Station and Osaka Namba Station.

    Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Nambasennichimae 11-25 Hatsuse Bldg 2F
    Sennichimae Hatsuse is a long-established okonomiyaki restaurant which began in 1945. As it used to be operated as a ryokan (Japanese style accommodation), all seating is in relaxing individual rooms. Double sauce with a secret mixture combining four types of flour and Japanese stock covered with two types of sauce is the key to the taste. Mix, a main dish with pork, squid and prawn as well as Butatama (a pork topping) are popular. The Hatsuse set meal which allows you to enjoy a pork hot plate pot, squid tempura (deep fry) and other items is also well-received. As you can cook by yourself on a hot plate at each table, groups and families can enjoy their meals while having fun. The closest station is Namba Station.

    Negiyaki Yamamoto is a restaurant serving negiyaki (Okonomiyaki savory pancake with green onions), one of Osaka’s lesser-known traditional fried foods, and teppanyaki. As Negiyaki Yamamoto is located inside the concourse of Shin-Osaka Shinkansen (Bullet Train) Station, it is the perfect place to stop for a bite to eat while traveling. For the benefit of customers who may be in a rush, some of the fried foods are pre-cooked, and then finished off just before serving. The Suji-Negi, which includes plenty of spring onions with slow-boiled beef tendons and konjac, is especially popular.

    フードコートのような、お店がいくつかあるうちの一つです。改札内にあって、お気軽に食べられます。ネギ焼き、美味しかったです。ただずっと食べてると少し飽きるかも?他のお店のものも頼みながら、誰かとシェアすることをお勧めします。
