Okonomiyaki Aomori
お好み焼 青森
Opened in 1957, this historic Nagata teppanyaki joint is widely recognized as one of the birthplaces of Sobameshi, famous for its signature beef tendon Sobameshi.
Opened in 1957 in Nagata, this restaurant is famous as the birthplace of Sobameshi (fried noodles and rice). Back then, the shop did not serve rice, so workers from nearby factories brought their own cold rice and asked the owner to heat it up on the teppan griddle along with yakisoba, giving birth to this dish. However, there is another origin story pointing to "Yayoi" in Nagata. The signature beef tendon Sobameshi combines stewed beef tendon (bokkake) and cabbage, seasoned with two types of sauces. The menu also features beef tendon okonomiyaki, standard okonomiyaki, and modanyaki. The restaurant has only 19 seats, including counter and table seating. It is about a 6-minute walk from JR Shin-Nagata Station, making it perfect for an in-depth exploration of Nagata.
