Located near JR Kotoni Station, this restaurant on the first floor offers okonomiyaki. I stopped by for dinner while shopping nearby. There are two entrances, one inside the building and one outside. The interior has counter seats and sunken kotatsu-style seating with a teppan grill. We were seated at the counter where the okonomiyaki was cooked by the owner. The menu includes Hiroshima-style and Kansai-style okonomiyaki, as well as yakisoba and teppanyaki. The owner recommended the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, but we ordered the "Pair Set" (2,200 yen) to try both. The set includes Hiroshima-style Momotaro (with squid, shrimp, and squid tempura) and Kansai-style Momotaro (with squid, shrimp, and potato). Both were delicious, but as a middle-aged person, I preferred the Hiroshima-style with its sweeter cabbage over the rich sauce of the Kansai-style. The Pair Set might be a bit small for two adults, so consider ordering extra yakisoba if you're hungry. Recommended for those who enjoy Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki.

Located a 2-minute walk from Kotonui Station, this building on the 1st floor has two slightly hidden entrances from the outside and inside. Upon entering the okonomiyaki restaurant, customers are greeted with a surprised expression. The restaurant seemed quiet and the customer left early, but the staff kindly agreed to serve. The business hours are around 8 pm, but it's a bit flexible. I ordered a take-out Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and a beer while waiting. The beer was served in a clean glass that is washed daily. The appetizer was priced at 220 yen and changes daily. On this day, it was a 350 yen dish of cotton tofu with plenty of condiments. The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with meatball udon was priced at 820 yen, with a generous amount of cabbage and a light texture. The meat was in small portions, and the udon was chewy. The container fee was an additional 110 yen. Next time, I would like to enjoy the freshly made dish at the restaurant with a beer. Thank you for the meal.

I am a tenant on the first floor of an apartment building, and there is a shop facing a narrow alley where only one person can pass at a time. It's a bit of a quirky shop no matter which entrance you use! I ordered Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, listed on the menu as Hiroshima-yaki. I ordered the Momotaro for 1,000 yen (^^♪ They make it right in front of you, but the way they make it is quite unique. First, they thinly spread the dough in a circular shape like a crepe, then they place vegetables and meat on top. Once the dough is cooked, they flip it over... well, not quite! Instead, they set the vegetables and meat first, then cover it with the cooked dough as shown in images 2, 3, and 4. Next, they stir-fry yakisoba and place it on top of a thinly cooked egg, then add the mixture from image 4 on top. Finally, they flip the whole thing for the first time, season it, and it's ready to eat. This method only requires flipping once! It may seem a bit strange, but that's how they do it. This is a "healthy okonomiyaki" with a focus on quality ingredients and seasoning. I can't quite remember the details, but I think they used locally sourced ingredients and lighter seasoning. Of course, I added mayonnaise and sauce before eating. The proprietress and her husband were both very friendly, making it a shop I would definitely want to visit again (^^)/

On a certain weekday, after finishing work in Kotoni, I decided to have lunch there as well. There wasn't a specific dish that I wanted to try, but I noticed a sign that said "Lunch" was quite prominent, so I went to "Okonomiyaki Teppanyaki Momotaro". Today, I had the Yakisoba Lunch (810 yen), which came with yakisoba, onigiri, cabbage salad, and pickles on a single plate. It also included miso soup and coffee after the meal. The other lunch menu for the day was the Omusoba Lunch, which seemed to be a Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki based on what other customers were eating. The lady at the restaurant cooked the food on the teppan grill behind the counter. The yakisoba had a delicious taste slightly different from the one made at home. The onigiri was soft and lightly packed. The combination of carbs was really tasty! I thought I would like to come back for dinner at "Momotaro".

The daily lunch special comes with a drink and seems like a good deal. Today's special was grilled fish set meal. Although the daily specials can be made quickly, I was in the mood for okonomiyaki, so I ordered the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with pork and soba noodles. It arrived faster than expected. The portion looked generous, but in reality, it was more like a snack size. The thin wheat base was topped with cabbage, pork, soba, and egg, with the main focus on the healthy cabbage. The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki was served on a hot plate, pre-cut into quarters. The taste was sweet due to the sauce, but not overly so. The service was good, with the waitress checking if I wanted mayonnaise. Overall, the service was impressive. The seating consists of 8 counter seats and 2 seats with items on them, making them unavailable. There are also 3 tables with teppanyaki grills for 4 people each. I'm considering going back for dinner sometime.

There were some changes in plans, so we ended up having dinner out. We visited "Momotaro" in Kotoni, a okonomiyaki restaurant - to be precise, they specialize in Onomichi-yaki. Today, I had Kansai-style okonomiyaki and omusoba. Watching the skilled hands of the chef on the teppan was impressive. The owner's conversation was also nice. It was so fun! I recommend sitting at the counter. I think their okonomiyaki is healthy. The place is clean and pleasant! And the couple who run the place are warm-hearted! They even give life advice!

I felt good drinking sake and decided to end the day with a rare Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. I stumbled upon this place on my way home and decided to give it a try. It seems to be popular among regular customers. - Date and Time of Visit: October 10, 2014 (Friday) / Evening - Purpose: Ending the day with my spouse - Order: Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki "Momotaro" (1000 yen) / Sour cocktail (430 yen) - Time from ordering to serving: About 15 minutes - Review of the dish: The appearance was flat with not much thickness. It seemed like the cabbage was steamed thoroughly, or maybe the portion was naturally small, giving the impression of a bit lacking in volume. The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with squid tempura, squid, and shrimp had occasional hints of seafood flavor. The dough was chewy and delicious. - Recommended point: It's safe for even drunk customers as they cook it for you. The place is run by a couple and has a very cozy atmosphere. Honestly, I felt the pricing was a bit high. I felt like I could eat more, but I decided to stop here for tonight.

Just a 2-3 minute walk from JR Kotoni Station, on the 1st floor of a retro building that brings back the Showa era vibes, is a small teppanyaki restaurant run by a husband and wife. The restaurant is called "Okonomiyaki Teppanyaki Momotaro." The couple was so impressed by the delicious okonomiyaki they had in Hiroshima that they decided to open their own restaurant in Hokkaido. They are very particular about their ingredients, using freshly milled Hitomebore rice on the same day, all meats are from Hokkaido, eggs are fresh and delivered daily, and they even source their soba and udon noodles from a specialty manufacturer in Sapporo. The tempura and tempura crumbs are sent directly from Onomichi, Hiroshima. I visited in February and was recommended to try their special oyster dish that is only available in winter and is flown in directly from Hiroshima. The oyster dish was fantastic, and I was brought here by a big fan of it. The restaurant has a few regular customers at the counter and a teppan grill at the sunken seating area, but they prefer to have the professionals cook and serve the food at the counter. The husband and wife owners are very lively and entertaining. I ordered the Momotaro Special for 1350 yen, which is a Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki without mayonnaise. It was a large and thick okonomiyaki with a fluffy egg on top, filled with plenty of cabbage, squid, shrimp, scallops, octopus, tempura, and shiso leaf. The tempura from Onomichi was easy to eat as it was thinly sliced and placed inside. The noodles were thick and chewy. The cabbage was sweet and tasty, and despite its generous appearance, it was surprisingly light. The shiso leaf aroma was faint but pleasant. When mixed with the egg and sauce, it was very delicious. The sauce had a familiar fruity sweetness. I also tried the scallop sashimi from Notsuke, which was topped with butter and was delicious. The teppan-grilled oysters were said to be very rich in flavor, and there were two versions - one with lemon and another with Hokkaido cheese on top. I didn't try the oysters as I'm not a fan, but they looked very appetizing. Instead, I had the tonpei-yaki, which was excellent. I didn't drink alcohol that day, but I ordered a rich grape juice that was served in a wine glass by the wife, making me feel like I was part of the drinking crowd. The okonomiyaki is available in Kansai-style as well, starting from 650 yen for the Nikudama (meatball), which was a bit small and more like a snack. The Momotaro Special, on the other hand, was a hearty meal. I would like to try their lunch menu next time. Other items on the menu include: Nikudama (meatball) - 650 yen, Nikudama with soba or udon - 750 yen, Squid grill (Hakodate, real squid) - 600 yen, Pork kimchi - 700 yen, Tonpei-yaki (pork belly, red ginger, green onion) - 650 yen, Wagyu sirloin steak - 1250 yen, Hokkai seafood grill (squid, shrimp, octopus, scallop, cheese, soba, shiso leaf) - 1300 yen, Yakisoba - 700 yen, Yakiudon - 700 yen, Scallop sashimi (Notsuke natural shellfish) - 400 yen.

We visited this restaurant with our family shortly after it opened, and were shocked by the bill, so we didn't go back often. It was the four of us, and we drank a lot, so we need the all-you-can-drink option. The owner, probably a couple, was very friendly. We visited again after a long time, this time with friends for lunch. They cook the okonomiyaki properly and bring it to you, which is great. Having okonomiyaki for lunch makes me excited. It gave us the energy to work hard in the afternoon. Thank you for the meal!

In August 2013, I visited "Okonomiyaki Teppanyaki Momotaro" for the first time. I had always been curious about this restaurant, but whenever I tried to go for lunch, it was always closed. This time, I arrived just before 2 pm. Lunch service had ended, but they said they could still make okonomiyaki. I decided to order okonomiyaki. Momotaro is a restaurant run by a husband and wife in Kotonishi, Nishi-ku, Sapporo, located on the first floor of a building along Hassamu-Kuoen Street. You can check the exact location on Tabelog. The interior of the restaurant has three tables in a raised area and counter seats. I sat at the counter. There were two customers before me and no one after. Since I was with my usual companion, we were recommended the "pair set," which includes the "Hiroshima-style Momotaro" and the "Kansai-style Momotaro." The main dish of the restaurant is the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, followed by the Kansai-style. We decided to try both. They started cooking in front of us, explaining the process as they went. The "tempura bits" and "squid tempura" used in the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki are sourced from Onomichi. The wife learned how to make okonomiyaki at Momotaro in Hiroshima when she was there. The name "Momotaro" is a branch of that restaurant. They opened this restaurant four years ago. The Hiroshima-style Momotaro comes with a choice of soba or udon, and we chose udon. Everything from the sauce to the plates is "Otafuku." It took 13 minutes for the first Hiroshima-style Momotaro to be ready. They cut it up and served it on a plate. The pair set includes: Hiroshima-style Momotaro: - Thick pork slices - High-quality squid tempura and tempura bits sourced from Onomichi - Stir-fried cabbage until soft - Tamagoyaki (egg omelette) - Udon noodles from Nishiyama Seimen - Topped lightly with sauce, mayonnaise, and seaweed Price: ¥1000 Kansai-style Momotaro: - Fluffy tamagoyaki - Thick pork slices - High-quality squid, shrimp, potatoes, pickled ginger, and cabbage - Potatoes made with Hokkaido Akari variety - Crunchy cabbage - Topped lightly with sauce, mayonnaise, seaweed, and bonito flakes Price: ¥1100 Price for set: ¥2000 The flavors were not too strong. They provided mayonnaise and sauce on the side, but we didn't use them. The okonomiyaki had a healthy feel to it. The Hiroshima-style Momotaro had a great taste of squid tempura, served hot and delicious. The Kansai-style Momotaro had a nice texture from the Hokkaido Akari potatoes. It has a healthy appeal, so I think it's popular with women. Definitely a favorite flavor for my usual companion. In Sapporo, there used to be many local okonomiyaki restaurants that we enjoyed, but most have disappeared and been replaced by chain stores. I hope to see more local, individually-owned okonomiyaki places like this one. I rated it 4.0 with my support. The okonomiyaki had quite a substantial portion, and both of us were extremely full. Next time, I would like to choose something with a little less volume (laughs). It was delicious, thank you.

A okonomiyaki restaurant near JR Kotoni Station in Nishi Ward, Sapporo. I have been using it frequently lately. They offer both Hiroshima-style and Osaka-style okonomiyaki. As I am originally from Hiroshima and lived in Osaka for 11 years, I enjoy both styles of okonomiyaki. The owner of this restaurant apparently trained in Hiroshima, and while the taste and cooking style were initially lacking, they have been improving gradually. It has become quite good, even for someone from Hiroshima. However, compared to Hiroshima (this may sound harsh), there is still room for improvement. I hope they continue to refine their skills. I won't list all the downsides, but one thing I would like to mention is that they should stop putting mayonnaise on the okonomiyaki from the start. In Hiroshima, restaurants usually don't put mayonnaise on top. Also, they sometimes forget to sprinkle nori, so be careful. Despite my critical comments, the taste has improved significantly since the beginning. They also serve an Osaka-style okonomiyaki that you won't find in Osaka, and the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is decent. I recommend the Buta-soba modern-yaki.

I went to an okonomiyaki restaurant near JR Kotoni Station in Sapporo. It's located on the first floor of a mixed-use building, with most of the shops closed except for this one. The address was a bit tricky to find, but we eventually located it on the main street. We decided to try the set menu that includes ingredients from both Hiroshima and Kansai styles, recommended by the owner. The okonomiyaki was cooked without oil on the hot plate, which made it light and healthy. The Hiroshima style had a thin base with lots of cabbage and toppings like squid tempura and bean sprouts, while the Kansai style was fluffy with a generous amount of pork and eggs. Both were delicious with the sauce and mayonnaise. We enjoyed comparing the two styles and finished our meal feeling satisfied but not overly full. Overall, the okonomiyaki was flavorful and light, making it a good choice for a casual lunch.

This is an okonomiyaki restaurant located about a 3-4 minute walk south of JR Kotoni Station. It serves Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and has been in business for about 5 years, although it looks a bit dated. The restaurant has around 8 counter seats and a few table seats. I visited at night and tried the soba-niku-tama-ika-ten okonomiyaki, which cost 750 yen plus 100 yen. My first impression was that the okonomiyaki was small. While the size was a bit small, the amount of cabbage, squid tempura, and soba noodles was also on the smaller side. I didn't feel full just from this okonomiyaki. It might be suitable as a side dish for drinks. The cabbage was quite tasty, but the soba noodles, which were Chinese noodles from Nishiyama Seimen, were lacking. I wanted a bit more creativity. The squid tempura was also lacking in quantity and cutting it into thin strips made it less noticeable. Additionally, while the sauce was fine, I didn't appreciate having mayonnaise automatically added. The biggest issue was the greasiness. With fewer vegetables, the pork fat was more pronounced. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

I have been visiting this shop a few times a year since it opened. There are two locations, one in Hiroshima and one in Kansai, but I mainly go to the Hiroshima one. They have teppanyaki on the menu, and I was also curious about this new Oshu White Stone Ramen they recently added. Every time I finish eating, I can't help but think that while the taste is good, the prices seem a bit high. I have a childlike taste palate and a childlike wallet, so it's just my personal opinion...m(_ _)m
