I left the office after 8:00 pm on a Monday and decided to visit this place that I had been curious about for a while. It might be the closest okonomiyaki restaurant to my office. I ordered the Mix Yaki (1,650 yen) with shrimp, octopus, pork, squid, fish cake, and konjac. I also added green onions (242 yen) as a topping. The thick okonomiyaki was cooked right in front of me at the counter, with a crispy surface and a fluffy interior, just like the classic style. It had a perfect balance without being too powdery or watery. It's satisfying enough for one person, but it would also be fun to try a variety of dishes with a group of people.

I realized that I hadn't eaten okonomiyaki in a long time and suddenly had a strong craving for it. I decided to go to Toda Wataru's Okonomiyaki Santekan, which I had been wanting to try for a while. I couldn't decide on what to order from the menu, but since it was my first visit, I went for the popular "Sujiyaki" okonomiyaki. I also ordered cucumber pickles, chicken cartilage with ponzu sauce, and a Masters Dream cocktail to enjoy while waiting for my main dish. The Sujiyaki arrived sizzling hot and the sweet flavor of the beef suji complemented the savory okonomiyaki batter perfectly. I added some sauce, mayonnaise, and nori halfway through, and it was delicious. Although Toda-san was not there that day, I enjoyed the meal and would love to come back to try more dishes like the modern okonomiyaki.

It's been 3 months since my last visit. I went for lunch and had the Osaka Modern Yaki Mix from the lunch menu. It costs 1430 yen. The mix includes pork, shrimp, squid, octopus, and konjac. In Kansai-style restaurants, Modern Yaki typically refers to yakisoba mixed with egg and dashi broth, but this time I had Osaka Modern Yaki, which is a Kansai-style mixed yakisoba with soba noodles on top. It's quite a heavy okonomiyaki, but the deliciousness of the egg, cabbage, and soba noodles really stood out. It's a tasty okonomiyaki.

I ordered a mix bowl before the performance at Suntory Hall. I debated whether to go for the large size, but this time I opted for the regular size. It turned out to be the right choice, as the regular size was more than enough to fill me up! There were standard items like squid and pork, as well as unique ones like fish cake and konjac (which I consider unusual), making it very enjoyable. It was delicious, thank you for the meal!

I made a reservation through Tabelog to use up my expiring T-points. I booked a seat at a branch of the famous Osaka restaurant "Kiji," which usually doesn't accept reservations, but this branch allows reservations for dinner only. What's even better is that you can reserve just a seat, giving you plenty of time to carefully choose your dishes after you arrive. I arrived at Ark Hills 30 minutes before my reservation, so I killed time by browsing a nearby food select shop. I stumbled upon a hybrid supermarket and convenience store called "Fukushimaya," which had an interesting lineup of products. When it was time, I entered the restaurant and was seated at the counter in front of the grilling station. I ordered the Kiji-style modern yaki for 1,485 yen, suji pon for 880 yen, and cola for 407 yen. The suji pon arrived first as a complimentary appetizer, so I raised a toast with my cola (I'm not a big drinker). The dish consisted of large chunks of beef tendon mixed with ponzu sauce, which complemented the rich flavor of the okonomiyaki perfectly. The green onions added a nice touch as well. However, chewing the tough tendon was a bit challenging, and I found myself struggling to swallow it. I felt like I could have shared half of it with someone else. The modern yaki was prepared right in front of me on a large iron griddle, giving me a front-row seat to the live cooking action. The dish arrived piping hot, featuring yakisoba noodles mixed with a sweet sauce and topped with pork and squid. It was quite different from what I had imagined, and I was left feeling that my homemade version might be just as good. The person in charge seemed to be a senior figure, but it turned out that he was not Mr. Toda, who is responsible for the Kiji Marunouchi branch in Tokyo. He was a skilled chef sent from the Osaka main branch to introduce authentic okonomiyaki to Tokyo. The dish I ordered was cooked by one of his subordinates. I remembered a story about Mr. Toda buying beef tendon at the market to use in oden or okonomiyaki. The experience made me realize that maybe I should have ordered the classic butatama instead. I had previously seen long lines at the Marunouchi branch of Kiji and Denkosekka in Tokyo Station, so I had stayed away. But now, I have a reason to go back for butatama or suji yaki! The only downside was that they didn't properly apply my T-points discount during payment. Everything else was perfect. The service was attentive, with young staff members taking care of everything, from providing paper aprons to offering frozen towels. They coined a term "sante-kan" combining the words "come, see, eat" and "relax," reflecting the Osaka merchant mentality. As a born and raised Kanto person, I couldn't help but notice the subtle differences.

Toda Wataru's okonomiyaki is a perfect combination of cheese and pork, with a delicious flavor and aroma that stimulates your appetite as soon as you take a bite. The melting cheese harmonizes with the savory pork, creating a delightful taste sensation that dances on your tongue with each bite. Additionally, the portion size is generous. Just ordering two okonomiyaki will leave you feeling satisfied. The cozy atmosphere and reasonable prices add to the appeal of this restaurant. It's a place where you can enjoy not only a delicious meal but also a sense of contentment.

I thought it was a shop where you bake it yourself, but it turned out to be a style where the finished product is delivered. They also had lunch curry, but since it's a flour-based shop, I decided to go with their basic dish. It seems like they use shiso leaves as a hidden flavor in their recipe. They paid attention to details like chilling disposable towels and using spatulas for lighting, which added a nice touch to the overall experience.

I wanted to eat okonomiyaki with yakisoba, so I went to Santakan for the first time in two years. Even though it was 2 PM, it seemed about 80% full. I sat at the counter and ordered the Modern-yaki. Soon, the Modern-yaki appeared on the hot plate in front of me, with bonito flakes swaying in the steam, looking very delicious. I cut it with a spatula and enjoyed it with sauce, seaweed, and mayonnaise. The Modern-yaki at Santakan is wrapped in noodles with dashi and eggs and then grilled. The noodles are chewy, but the flour part is a bit soft. Personally, I prefer it to be grilled a bit firmer. The spicy sauce has more kick than I expected and goes well with the Modern-yaki. Thank you for the meal.

Before watching a concert at Suntory Hall, I finally stopped by a shop that had caught my eye for a while. Personally, the fresh salad was to my liking and the modern yaki, similar to omusoba, was a type of dish I had never tried before and was very delicious. It made for a lovely time before the performance.

A popular okonomiyaki restaurant that has been selected as one of the top 100 restaurants, located within Ark Hills. The interior is clean and stylish. You can enjoy teppanyaki dishes at a reasonable price even during lunchtime! Today's special okonomiyaki for ¥1078 includes pork, shimeji mushrooms, and cheese. It is not the DIY type, but the ready-made okonomiyaki is brought to your table. To keep it warm, place it on the hot teppan at each table. Surprisingly, one piece is quite filling, and the sweetness and texture of the cheese were just right for me. They also serve curry rice for lunch! Thank you for the meal! ★

I felt like eating okonomiyaki and happened to come to this restaurant at lunchtime. It's an area in Ark Hills where I don't usually visit. The restaurant is quite large and seemed popular with customers. I had the sujiyaki. The cooked dish is served on a hot plate at the table. When I took a bite, it tasted just like doteyaki. Well, it makes sense since it's sujiyaki, so I was oddly satisfied and enjoyed it. It's not okonomiyaki or modern yaki, it's truly sujiyaki. The rich flavor goes well with beer. It might be best to share with two or more people as it can get a bit monotonous when eating alone. Thank you for the meal.

I went out for dinner after a long time. The atmosphere was still stylish as always, which was nice. This time, I was seated at the counter for the first time, and it was great to see the food being prepared right in front of me. I ordered pork okonomiyaki and beef tendon, and personally, I preferred the beef tendon. Thank you for the meal. I would like to go again.

I heard that there is also that famous "kiji" in Tokyo, so I visited with someone who told me about it. It had been a while since I last ate there, but it was delicious! Everything I tried was really tasty. The broth is kneaded well into the dough, and the umami that spreads in your mouth when you eat it is just irresistible. And the yakisoba! The richness of the white motsu oil mixing with the noodles is just amazing. It was a very satisfying dinner.

This was my third visit! I ordered the beef tendon okonomiyaki again. Last time, I tried the beef tendon modern style and Iberico pork bacon potato cheese, but I couldn't beat the simple beef tendon... It's very filling because of the generous portion!

This famous restaurant is always crowded. They seem to make an effort to get people in, as they kindly provide various helpful advice after entering. The taste alone has a high rating of 3.6. As it is related to the famous Kansai restaurant "Kiji," the taste is excellent. The prices are just right. If you want to eat Osaka-style okonomiyaki, this is a recommended restaurant. It's always busy, so consider yourself lucky if you can get in. Please feel free to challenge it at an easy timing. Everything you eat here is delicious.

Okonomiyaki was delicious, but the lemon sour was incredibly tasty!! We sat at the counter seats, so it was nice to see them cooking in front of us. We visited as a pair, and without saying anything, they cut it in half and prepared it on the grill in front of us, which was very helpful. I went with a friend, but it seems like a good place for a date too.

It's been 7 months since my last visit. I went for lunch on a weekday and had the Kiji-style suji modern yaki. It costs 1540 yen. I found it quite challenging to finish it all, which is unusual for me, maybe due to my health condition. The taste, however, was spot on. The suji itself is delicious, and the umami that oozes out from the suji enhances the overall flavor of the modern yaki. The first bite was quite tender, but as I took my time, the latter part became firmer, which I also enjoyed.

Lunch with a friend for the first time. We had trouble deciding, so we ordered the pork and cheese okonomiyaki and pork yakisoba, and decided to share half of each. They cooked it right in front of us at the counter, and even without us asking, they asked if splitting it in half was okay. It was thoughtful of them to ask. The taste was delicious! The sweet sauce was perfect, and it was loaded with cabbage. If I didn't have work in the afternoon, I would have enjoyed it with a beer. I want to try other menu items next time!

I usually go to Kiji Marunouchi, but this time I tried Hatsu-san Takashi. I like to eat okonomiyaki with rice, and people often say I'm like an Osaka person. This time, even the Kansai person sitting next to me said the same thing lol. The okonomiyaki here really tastes the best when eaten with rice. I'll definitely come back again!

Toda Wataru's Okonomiyaki Sante Hiroshi is a great place to cure a hangover. This time, I visited the okonomiyaki restaurant "Toda Wataru's Okonomiyaki Sante Hiroshi" located in Ark Hills South Tower in Roppongi. I've been here before and it's quite delicious, as it is a famous okonomiyaki restaurant from Osaka. What's great is that they cook it for you and bring it to your table. I'm not very good at making it myself, so this works out perfectly for me! I sat at the counter this time, which I think I've never done before. The menu includes daily specials, homemade curry rice set, Kiji-ryu Modern-yaki, and Butatama. I decided to try the Kiji-ryu Modern-yaki, which is their most famous dish. After a short wait, the Kiji-ryu Modern-yaki was served on the hot plate in front of me. It looked delicious with the runny egg on top. The combination of crispy cabbage, crunchy meat, noodles, and chewy squid was really tasty! The sweet sauce added a nice touch. The fact that it's served on a hot plate keeps it piping hot for you to enjoy. It's a bit on the rich side, so it would probably go well with beer. The portion size was just right for lunch, and I left satisfied. Overall, it was a great meal and I would definitely consider coming back.
