Mizuno Dotonbori
お好み焼 美津の
An iconic okonomiyaki restaurant in Dotonbori founded in 1945, famous for its fluffy and tender Yamayaki made with grated yam batter, drawing constant lines.
Founded in 1945, Mizuno has been featured in the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand since 2016. Its signature Yamayaki uses grated mountain yam instead of flour, resulting in a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. The namesake Mizunoyaki features pork belly, squid, shrimp, scallops, octopus, and more. There is also the classic mixed okonomiyaki, and oysters are available in winter. Regular reservations are not accepted, and wait times of 30 to 60 minutes are common on weekend evenings. Arriving when it opens at 11:00 AM on weekdays is the best way to save time. The average cost is about 1,500 to 3,000 JPY per person. It is about a 5-minute walk from Exit 15 of Namba Subway Station or Nippombashi Station.
Opening hours
11:00–22:00 (Last order 21:00); according to the official website, Thursday closures will be discontinued starting February 2026, with no fixed holidays
