Authentic Okonomiyaki experience in Hiroshima

Okonomiyaki is one of the most popular dish in Hiroshima. It is great for casual gathering with friends and enjoy a cold beer- whether for lunch or dinner. We visited one of the okonomiyaki restaurants on the shopping street in Chuo Ward ( city center). The restaurant is on the 3 rd floor of a building and can be accessed by elevator. There are at least 20 big tables and was nearly full of locals when we arrived at 8pm. There were 10 different kinds of okonomiyaki on the menu, including the most popular oyster, squid, shrimp, pork with egg or even vegetarian. Our table is actually a long hot plate to heat up the okonomiyaki. The chef would prepare the base ( noodle and cabbage) and toppings and bring to us. The cooking time is about 5 minutes to make the base crispier and we can make the final touch by adding mayonnaise to the top. It is such a fun experience and definitely worth trying out!
