I am from Hiroshima myself and I wanted to try this restaurant! Of course, I ordered Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. I was impressed by the taste that I hadn't had in a long time, and the mayonnaise on top was also incredibly delicious. The owner was very friendly and the conversation flowed easily. I definitely want to go back to this restaurant!

A shop that has been serving as a kitchen for Hokkaido University students for over 30 years. The walls are filled with messages left by past students. Their special mayonnaise is sweet and delicious, and pairs perfectly with their hot okonomiyaki. The addition of watercress on top is also a nice touch. This traditional taste around Hokkaido University is something I hope will continue for a long time.

I visited after a little while and it was nice to see you again ^ ^ I occasionally check your updates on Twitter. I was worried about your knee. Recently, I saw that the sauce I had been using was discontinued! You were suddenly forced to develop a new sauce, and I was very curious about it. And my favorite "potato cheese" ran out in the jumbo size, so I'm planning to ask for a "jumbo refill" w. You seemed to be in better spirits than before, with a softer expression! Phew. It seems you found something good to support your knee, so even though it's still tough, there are some easier moments. I'm glad ❤︎ And casually asked for a "jumbo refill," and you made it for me♪ The dough is thicker, so the shrimp is plump, and the flavor of the dough is stronger, but it's delicious (*^^*) My partner usually orders the same menu, and I usually take a little bit of the red chili, but I thought it was heavy and I didn't need it anymore. But when I took a bite, I was surprised! It felt lighter. The aftertaste is refreshing ⭐︎ It turns out that it's thanks to the sauce's ingenuity. It's amazing how much a little change can make a big difference. The aftertaste of the delicious yakisoba noodles and the texture of the noodles are very good when combined. Smiling and saying, "I panicked for a moment, but now I'm okay no matter what happens! ^ ^" You are reliable and wonderful. I will visit again, please take care of your knee ⭐︎ Thank you for the meal♪

I arrived at the restaurant relatively early, so I was able to place my order right away. Soon after, more customers started coming in, and if I had been 10 minutes later, I might not have been able to eat at all. I ordered the pork and cheese okonomiyaki and the shrimp modern okonomiyaki. Both had watercress on top, which I thought was unusual. The pork and cheese okonomiyaki was not topped with sauce, but with soy sauce, making it light and allowing the sweetness of the cabbage to come through. The modern okonomiyaki had a homemade sauce that paired very well with the thick noodles. The mayonnaise was homemade as well, with a sweet flavor. Personally, I did not care for the mayonnaise. Overall, it was delicious.

I visited the restaurant a little after 6 pm on a regular day. I was able to enter without waiting, but the inside was already almost full. It's a cozy okonomiyaki restaurant with a warm manager and delicious homemade mayonnaise. The manager runs the place alone. If you ask, the manager will add as much mayonnaise and sauce as you want. The customers were mostly young people, probably many of them were students from nearby Hokkaido University. They offer large portion options and the taste and cost performance were both good.

I visited before the price increase. I ordered potato, pork, extra large, pork, extra large, and extra broth. Although I thought I had plenty of room because some people around me also ordered the jumbo size, it became quite challenging halfway through. The cost performance is so good that even if they raise the prices, it wouldn't be a problem at all. I visited once on a holiday afternoon but they were closed. It seems they only operate in the evenings.

It's been a year and a half since my last visit. I've tried coming here about 4 times during that period, but it was closed each time, so I had to sadly head back home. Just to give you some context, I've been coming to this place for 25 years. The customers here are mostly students from Hokkaido University, haha. I've tried okonomiyaki at various places, but I have yet to find one that surpasses the okonomiyaki here. The menu offers a variety of options, from regular okonomiyaki to modern styles with potatoes, but my go-to is the cheese okonomiyaki. The cheese inside is gooey and the base is soy sauce, not sauce. The highlight of this place is the mayonnaise. It's homemade and incredibly rich, with a hint of sweetness and less acidity. It's so delicious, almost like whipped cream! This mayonnaise actually helped me overcome my dislike for mayonnaise 25 years ago. If you ask the chef, they'll add it for free. Also, the prices are student-friendly, which is a huge plus. Even after a year and a half, this place is still the best. Thank you for the meal.

I wanted to taste that flavor again, so I revisited the restaurant after a year. I ordered the pork and cheese okonomiyaki with potatoes, which I had been craving. When the okonomiyaki was served, I was thrilled to see it. It had plenty of watercress, onions, mayonnaise, soy sauce, cheese, and lots of potatoes. I was completely satisfied with the taste, which I think is perfect for women. My husband ordered the mix okonomiyaki with thick noodles and a rich sauce, which I think men would prefer. You can choose from four sizes, and we chose the smallest size, which was just right for us. The restaurant is close to Hokkaido University, so it's always busy with students. I was impressed to see them ordering large portions, thinking that youth is truly wonderful.

Today, I visited Minami Rokuya, a restaurant I always peek into but can never get in because it's always packed with customers. But today, I was lucky and managed to get a seat. It's located about a 5-minute walk from the 18th street station. The restaurant has a counter with 16 seats surrounding the teppan grill. There were 2 customers before me and 12 customers after me. The timing was just right for me to get a seat. The customers were mostly Hokkaido University students. While okonomiyaki and beer go hand in hand, I was pleasantly surprised to find both cans and bottles available here, despite the customer base. I ordered a classic medium bottle for 460 yen. Sometimes, beer tastes better in a bottle. As it's a student hangout, the prices are very affordable. Various types of okonomiyaki start from 650 yen. You can choose from regular, large, jumbo without soba, with soba, large soba, jumbo soba, and jumbo extra soba, with prices increasing by 100 yen or 50 yen increments. I ended up choosing the Brix Mix with large soba (2 portions). The okonomiyaki is cooked by the owner himself. As more customers arrived, the owner was quite busy, but the students patiently waited. After about 15 minutes, my order arrived. The Brix Mix had a modern style with melting cheese inside. The mix included pork, shrimp, and squid. The okonomiyaki was topped with plenty of watercress, onions, homemade mayo, and chili sauce. It was quite stylish with the watercress and onions. The thick noodles resembled champon noodles. With two portions, it was quite filling. The crispy dough contrasted well with the chewy noodles. The watercress added a refreshing touch, and the mild mayo complemented the dish. The cheese added a nice flavor. Towards the end, I got a bit tired of the flavors, but I managed to finish it. I was so full that I didn't want to move. The students each customized their okonomiyaki with different toppings, but the owner diligently cooked each one without mixing them up. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.
