Yakisoba chicken for 570 yen, draft beer for 530 yen. Total: 1,100 yen. They had a yakisoba with chicken, which is quite unusual! They also had a menu called "toritama" for your preference. I only had yakisoba, but when it comes to yakisoba, I prefer pork. If I come again, I'll try the pork one. Well, I'm satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

When I tried to eat sushi at Ishida, it was full, so I ended up at this place for the first time. I wondered if they were still open since I was the only customer, but the interior was nice. I ordered pork okonomiyaki for 520 yen, and the owner, who I think was in his 50s, made it on the hot plate in front of me. During that time, what seemed to be an elderly woman came out and lifted up the okonomiyaki, saying "a little more," and then sat down. The other customers were a pair of elderly women, an elderly woman with what seemed to be her son. The taste was antique, but considering the price and atmosphere, I was satisfied.

Located across from Mokuzen-ji Temple is a popular okonomiyaki restaurant that has been around since I was in elementary school. I visited for the first time in many years, and the interior was clean and well-maintained, possibly due to renovations. The man running the restaurant appeared to be in his 50s. The menu caught my eye with options like "tori" (chicken) okonomiyaki and yakisoba, which is quite unique. I ordered the Okonomiyaki Mix, which was prepared by spreading half of the batter on the griddle, adding beef, and then covering it with more batter. An elderly woman came over and expertly flipped it, and then finished cooking it. She asked if I wanted to put the sauce on myself or if she should do it, so I let her. The okonomiyaki had a crispy surface, with the beef adding depth to the flavor. The squid and perfectly cooked pork also added different textures to each bite. The sauce was on the milder side, both sweet and spicy. As I left, I asked the man about the history of the restaurant, but he didn't provide a clear answer. It seems like a place where many people order takeout, given the lack of a constant crowd. I hope they continue to thrive for many more years to come.

This is a long-established okonomiyaki restaurant in the neighborhood. The retro atmosphere is great, and it's very cozy. The set meals start from around 700 yen, which is convenient. They have bottled beers like Sapporo, Kirin, Asahi, etc. I tried the "sujiyaki" for the first time and it was amazing. It's cooked on a flavorful iron plate, which makes it even more delicious.

It was great value for money! We ordered okonomiyaki, modanyaki, and grilled gizzard and chicken thighs for two people, and the total was only 2200 yen!! It was cheap. We enjoyed it with as much mayonnaise as we liked.
