ABOUT

About this spot

If you visit Hiroshima, you absolutely cannot miss Okonomimura. This building in the Shintenchi district of central Hiroshima houses more than 20 individualistic okonomiyaki restaurants from the second to the fourth floor. Its roots trace back to postwar street stalls, and today it has become such a classic spot that people say, "For Hiroshima okonomiyaki, this is the place." Step inside and you are greeted by the savory aroma of sauce and the lively sound of spatulas on hot griddles. Most shops have counter seating, where you can enjoy the live feel of watching chefs skillfully cook okonomiyaki right in front of you. Comparing each shop's commitments, such as the way of cooking that brings out the sweetness of cabbage and secret sauces, is part of the fun. Enjoy the authentic taste with family or friends in a lively, Showa-retro atmosphere. The warm atmosphere also makes it easy to drop in on your own.
