Restaurant Known for Tradition and Warm Service
Located approximately a 5-minute walk from Hatchobori Station on the Hiroshima Electric Railway, "Shintenchi Plaza Building" houses the lively okonomiyaki destination "Okonomi-mura" on its third floor, where this long-standing, welcoming restaurant is found. Its signature okonomiyaki, featured in the "Michelin Guide Hiroshima 2013 Special Edition," is prepared using fresh noodles from "Isono Seimen," boiled in a large pot for each order, and finished with carefully selected shaved fish flakes made from bonito, mackerel, and sardines. Popular options include okonomiyaki and butter-grilled dishes topped with large oysters from the waters off Miyajima, along with regional specialties such as "Gansu," "Hiroshima Greens Kimchi," and "Beef Kone (brisket) Salt and Pepper Grill." Toppings such as cheese, favored by many, and mochi add further variety and heartiness.
