Okonomimura
お好み村
More than twenty Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki shops in one building, where you sit at the teppan counter and watch the chefs build layered pancakes with noodles.
Okonomimura occupies floors 2 to 4 of a building in the Shintenchi district. It grew out of postwar open-air food stalls, and today more than twenty Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki shops are here, each with teppan counter seating. Hiroshima-style differs from the Kansai style: a thin batter pancake is layered with plenty of cabbage, bean sprouts, pork belly and fried noodles, topped with an egg, flipped, then brushed with sweet Otafuku sauce. A serving costs about ¥1,000 to 1,500, and you can add oysters or squid. Opening hours and closing days vary by shop, and most stay open until late at night. It is about a 3-minute walk from Hondori Shopping Street, or you can take the tram to Hatchobori Station.
Opening hours
approx. 11:00–24:00 (varies by venue)
