A restaurant near Kinshicho Park in Kinshicho, known for its okonomiyaki. I made a reservation by phone before going to eat with an acquaintance. We sat at the counter, with the two end seats reserved. The menu was perused over a toast with beer, and we ordered recommended dishes, including mentaiko potato salad, scallops with butter, and beef tendon with green onions. We saved the okonomiyaki for last. The potato salad was creamy with a good balance of mayonnaise and mentaiko, perfect with beer. The beef tendon dish had a unique texture with konjac mixed in. As we enjoyed our meal, two travelers from Spain and Luxembourg sat next to us. The chef was struggling with communication, so we helped them place their order. One ordered a seafood okonomiyaki and the other a vegetarian version without meat or seafood. We ordered the "Mountain Mix" okonomiyaki with pork, beef, and sausage, as well as the mixed yakisoba. The okonomiyaki was thick and fluffy, with a crispy exterior and a delicious mix of ingredients. The yakisoba was generously topped with a fried egg as a thank you for helping the other customers. The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the dish had a satisfying amount of ingredients. We added some green onions and mayonnaise for a change in flavor. Despite feeling very full, we had a great time thanks to the friendly chef and hostess. I would definitely want to visit this restaurant again. Please note that they only accept cash payments.

It's recommended to make a reservation by phone before visiting the okonomiyaki restaurant in Kinshicho, as it can be difficult to get in without one. I ordered some dishes that seemed different from Osaka-style okonomiyaki: potato salad, wagyu sirloin steak, deluxe yakisoba, mountain mix okonomiyaki, camembert monjayaki, and sea mix monjayaki. The monjayaki and okonomiyaki both had cheese inside the batter, which was delicious! Especially the camembert monjayaki, made with a whole camembert cheese, was like a pool of cheese and very tasty. Looking at the menu, there were many Italian-style dishes using cheese, so it's safe to say this is a okonomiyaki restaurant specializing in cheese. I would love to visit again to try the unique okonomiyaki dishes that can only be found here.

I visited a okonomiyaki restaurant called "Genkame" around 7:00 pm on a weekday in August 2023. Located about a 2-3 minute walk from Kinshicho Station, the restaurant was about 80% full. We informed them of our reservation and were seated in a tatami room for three people. We started with a draft beer for ¥500, which was a refreshing Ebisu beer served in a medium-sized glass. We enjoyed a toast and the smoothness of the beer. Genkame Cabbage ¥450: A salad-like dish made with chopped cabbage seasoned with tenkasu, sauce, pickled ginger, nori, resembling okonomiyaki flavors. It had a rich B-class taste, making it a good appetizer with beer. Mentaiko Potato Salad ¥450: A smooth potato salad topped with whole mentaiko and mayonnaise. It had a strong salty flavor, but the joy of tasting the mentaiko was delightful. A perfect match for beer. Wagyu Sirloin Steak ¥1,300: Sliced wagyu sirloin steak with stir-fried bean sprouts. Enjoyed the tenderness of the wagyu while savoring the wasabi provided. The dish showcased the quality of the meat. Seafood Mix Genkayaki ¥1,300: A fluffy okonomiyaki with cheese in the middle, topped with squid, shrimp, and tuna. The seafood-themed okonomiyaki was light and fluffy, showcasing the deliciousness of the batter and sauce. It was a quality dish. We switched from draft beer to red wine for ¥2,700, enjoying a dry "Nuviana Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon" that paired well with the okonomiyaki sauce. Squid and Butter Saute ¥600: Small squid and onions sautéed in butter. The sweet seasoning reflected the restaurant's charm, making it a good side dish for drinks. Deluxe Yakisoba ¥1,400: Yakisoba with plenty of toppings and a fried egg on top. The thin noodles were decent, but didn't have the same impact as the okonomiyaki. The sauce-flavored pork, squid, and shrimp were well-cooked, but the texture of the noodles was lacking. Beef Tendon and Green Onion Tempura ¥1,200: A well-made okonomiyaki with beef tendon and green onions, a classic Osaka combination. The fluffy texture allowed us to fully enjoy the batter and ingredients. Topped with plenty of green laver, it was delicious. We ordered another red wine for ¥2,700, enjoying a slightly lighter "Momesan Cabernet Sauvignon" that paired well with flour-based dishes. Kyoto-style Negiyaki ¥1,000: A negiyaki with beef tendon mixed into the batter. The soy sauce-based flavor was different from okonomiyaki, with a refreshing taste of green onions. The aroma of the green onions was pleasant. Camembert Monjayaki ¥1,500: For dessert, we had a monjayaki with two whole Camembert cheeses. The dish was not seasoned, so we adjusted the flavor by adding sauce at the end. The deliciousness of the batter was evident in the monjayaki, which was enhanced by the Camembert cheese. It paired well with red wine. Overall, we were satisfied with the taste of the okonomiyaki at "Genkame." The pricing of the drinks was reasonable, and the overall satisfaction was very high. The hostess provided good service, making it a fun place to dine. A must-visit okonomiyaki restaurant in Kinshicho, Tokyo.

I made a reservation for 4 people at 7:00 pm on a regular day. The restaurant is located near Kinshicho Station and is not too big. It has a good old-town atmosphere. Alcoholic drinks are in the 500 yen range, and dishes range from 900 to 1500 yen each, which is a reasonable price. We each had about 2 drinks per person, spending around 3500 yen per person. They offer a wide variety of toppings like Hiroshima-style, modern-style, and the snow-view topping which is visually impressive. It seems to be a combination of mayonnaise and grated yam, giving it a mild and creamy texture. It's quite interesting. I recommend visiting if you have the chance.

Just a short walk from Kinshicho Station. I went to "Genkame" (I always thought it was "Gengame" haha). There is a counter and table seating in the back. I didn't have a reservation, but I was seated at the counter right away since it was early on a weekday. I ordered a draft beer and was curious about the menu. I decided to try the original "Okonomiyaki with Yuki sauce." It was a thick and fluffy okonomiyaki. The Yuki sauce made it even more delicious and smooth. I couldn't help but notice a tipsy woman sitting alone next to me, but she didn't cause any trouble, just chatted with the chef. The chef handled it with a smile and continued cooking the okonomiyaki efficiently. The okonomiyaki was delicious. After the woman left, the chef apologized for any inconvenience she may have caused. I reassured him that it was no trouble at all. It was a great dining experience, and I would love to visit again. Thank you for the delicious meal.

This is a restaurant review for a popular okonomiyaki restaurant with 100 seats in 2023. I entered without a reservation and was able to find a seat right away at the counter in front of the teppan (hot plate). I could watch the food being prepared while eating and drinking. The popular menu item was the "Umi no Mix Genkayaki" for 1,300 yen, the original "Ika-yaki" for 400 yen, and a set with black hoppy for 500 yen, with shochu available for an additional 250 yen. When sitting at the counter, the food is first served on a plate, and any extra portions are left on the teppan to keep warm. The "Umi no Mix Genkayaki" is a signature dish made with shrimp, squid, and tuna, with plenty of cheese inside. The "Ika-yaki" is a Osaka-style squid pancake, which I requested with mayonnaise. It was easy to eat with lots of squid. I enjoyed watching the master's skillful cooking process while eating and drinking. It was recommended to make a reservation as most other customers had reserved their seats in advance.

In the scorching heat of the city, this restaurant is perfect for satisfying your craving for fried food that goes well with a cold beer. I visited for a solo meal on a Sunday, without a reservation, and was seated at the counter facing the teppan grill as soon as they opened at 5 pm. The owner explained the dishes with care and consideration, despite being busy. The menu is creative and I ordered the following: - Shirasu (whitebait) on cold tofu - Buttered squid legs - Ocean mix original okonomiyaki The okonomiyaki was the highlight, with a perfect balance of crispy and gooey texture. The ocean mix included squid, shrimp, and tuna, which paired well together. Overall, it was a delightful meal that made me forget about the heat. The only downside was that smoking is allowed in all seats. I had a quick and satisfying meal, and paid in cash at the table. The whole experience lasted about 30 minutes, and I was impressed by the quality and value of the food. I would recommend trying your luck with the seating arrangements if you're a non-smoker.

I felt like having okonomiyaki outside after a long time, so I decided to visit Genkame, which was selected as one of the top 100 restaurants. I ordered the specialty Genkame-yaki and the okonomiyaki with Yukimi sauce. I ordered the normal size, but it seemed a bit small. The batter was fluffy like a pancake, and the cheese inside added a nice touch. It was delicious.

The combination of okonomiyaki and Ebisu beer was excellent. I went on a Thursday evening and was able to enter without waiting in line. Just be aware that last order is at 10pm. If you're in Kinshicho, be sure to stop by this place.

Okonomiyaki Seafood Special ¥1100 Ebisu draft beer ¥500 This is a Kansai-style okonomiyaki, where the ingredients are mixed together and cooked on a hot plate. Watching the master's skillful hands while sipping on a cold beer. The sizzle of the ingredients on the hot plate, the sound of the spatula hitting the iron plate, and the aroma of the sauce caramelizing... it's never boring. The okonomiyaki is topped with ingredients on the surface, so it is flipped over before being cut into four pieces. The final dish is about 3cm thick and 18cm in diameter. It's hot and fluffy, thanks to the yamaimo (Japanese mountain yam) in it. The ingredients include shrimp, squid, and tuna, which give a unique flavor. The mayonnaise is diluted 10:1 for a low-calorie option. The flour used is also low in calories due to the addition of yamaimo. The menu is full of delicious options, but it's impossible to finish them all alone. I need to come back with friends next time to try more dishes. Definitely coming back for more. Thank you for the meal.

First of all, I think it's cheap that a pitcher of beer at Ebisu is only 500 yen! I wonder if the soft drinks are priced higher to make up for it? I recommend the Genkoyaki, it's softer and fluffier than I expected!! It's gooey and the cheese stretches nicely, very delicious. The okonomiyaki has a thick and generous amount of filling. I also tried the Yukimi okonomiyaki, and I was surprised by its unique appearance. A brown okonomiyaki wrapped in a pure white sauce! The taste was quite to my liking! The landlady was very friendly and chatting with regular customers, and the boss was full of energy, truly a lively and vibrant restaurant! They have storage space for bags and clothes in the dressing room, so the odor control is perfect. It was a great place.

I had a great experience at this restaurant. When I went, there were only two other groups of customers. The seating was in sunken kotatsu tables, which was great! The mentaiko potato salad was so delicious that I wished I had some rice to go with it. The negiyaki had a lot of ingredients in it, but I wished it had a bit more dashi flavor. The okonomiyaki was average. I wanted a little bit of yakisoba, so I ordered a small portion. I was happy that they had both regular and small sizes available. The yakisoba was made with regular noodles and was tasty.

I stayed in Kinshicho on a business trip and decided to dine at this popular okonomiyaki restaurant with over 100 locations. Knowing that it would be crowded, I didn't make a reservation, but we managed to get in right when they opened. Everyone else had reservations. We started with Gankame salad, scallop yakisoba, chicken gizzard yakitori, and hash potatoes. Everything was delicious, but the scallop yakisoba was outstanding. For the finale, we ordered Gankame monjayaki, a unique type of okonomiyaki with rice mixed in. It was innovative and very tasty. We were too full to try the regular okonomiyaki, but we'll definitely be back for it next time. This place is a must-visit!

I've never been impressed with okonomiyaki before, but I found the best one in Tokyo at Kinshicho. The name of the place is Genkame, and they have a wide variety of menu items including okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and monjayaki. The portion sizes are quite large, so be careful not to order too much! Here's what I ate: - Avocado with wasabi soy sauce ¥500 - Buttered oysters ¥1000 - Pork and enoki mushroom stir-fry with garlic ¥750 - Grilled celery with salt ¥500 - Seafood mix Genkame okonomiyaki ¥1200 - Spicy cod roe Genkame monjayaki ¥1200 My personal recommendations are the Avocado with wasabi soy sauce and the Pork and enoki mushroom stir-fry. The avocado was perfectly ripe, and the enoki mushrooms were delicious with the garlic soy sauce. The Genkame okonomiyaki was amazing, with a fluffy texture and a rich umami flavor from the broth. The cabbage was also sweet and tasty. And the Spicy cod roe Genkame monjayaki was like a risotto, a great way to finish the meal. Overall, I think this is a great restaurant.

I made a reservation this time because last time I went without one and it was full. I was nervous because it was my first time making a reservation over the phone, but the staff was very friendly and polite when I visited. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and had an old-fashioned feel. We ordered 2-3 appetizers, recommended cheese-filled okonomiyaki x2, and one with grated yam on top. We sat at the counter and watched as they cooked it in front of us. I wanted to try the red bean paste roll at the end, but I was too full to eat it. Even if it's your first time, it's okay, so please give it a try.

I was able to eat at Genkame's okonomiyaki! The balance of flour and ingredients was perfect, and the texture of the finished product was exquisite, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The atmosphere in the restaurant was calm, and I felt comfortable dining alone. Especially, the owner's personality was wonderful, and the way they carefully made each dish was impressive. Furthermore, there is a wide variety of toppings to choose from, so just thinking about what to choose next time is exciting. I am grateful to Genkame for providing a wonderful time.

On Friday around 5:15 PM, there was only one customer at the counter. They said they had a reservation for just one hour, so I agreed to sit at the counter. - Grilled oysters with cabbage: ¥1,600 It was fun to watch the cooking process at the counter. They grilled the oysters separately and then placed them on top of cabbage to steam. It was delicious! - Draft beer: ¥500

I made a reservation and visited Genkame, known for its original okonomiyaki, on a regular night. The "Genkame-yaki" has melty cheese inside, and the "Genkame Original" has grated yam on top of the okonomiyaki. There are various types available, and I had a hard time choosing, but finally decided on the following: Seasonal recommendation - Oyster-filled Genkame-yaki, Genkame Original - Hanami (with mentaiko), Teppanyaki - Scallop Butter Okonomiyaki was delicious and melty! I can see why it's so popular. By the way, I was curious about the drink Marine Sour that the table next to me ordered, but I forgot to ask. I'd like to try it next time I go. Thank you for the meal!
