Insider Tip
Sit at the counter to watch the chef build your okonomiyaki layer by layer. Ask for "negi" (extra green onions) and "cheese" toppings for the local favorite combination.
JEMS Tip
We identify the best stalls in Okonomimura (each has its own specialty) and brief you on the etiquette of eating at the counter — including the proper use of the kote (metal spatula).
About
Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is fundamentally different from the Osaka version — layers of batter, cabbage, bean sprouts, pork, noodles, and egg are stacked and cooked on a flat griddle. Okonomimura, a multi-story building with 24 okonomiyaki stalls, is the epicenter.
Crowd Avoidance
Visit on weekdays and arrive early for the best experience with fewer crowds. Avoid national holidays and peak tourist seasons.
