讃岐そば
Tokyo Station!! This time, for the second installment of my Shinkansen day trip, I arrived in "Tokyo" with a schedule as tight as a businessman, just an hour and a half from Sendai. The capital of flowers, Tokyo! First things first, feeling a bit peckish, I decided to try the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki at "Denkosekka" in Tokyo Station. As a fan of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, I didn't hesitate to choose this place as my first stop! With over 10 locations nationwide, it's a popular spot. Conveniently located inside the station and open from 10 am, which is great! I bought my ticket from the machine and entered the restaurant... Unfortunately, I didn't get a seat at the counter where you can watch the teppanyaki show, a bit disappointing.
- Aroma Ale (draft beer) 590 yen
- Denkosekka (most popular dish) 1270 yen (with pork, double egg, noodles, squid tempura, shiso, and green onions)
First, a toast with a refreshing draft beer. Ah, I've been wanting to have a beer like this! After about 15 minutes, the most popular dish, "Denkosekka," arrived... Its unique dome shape is also known as the "Mokkori hyoutan island style." The theme of Denkosekka's okonomiyaki is "softness." That's why they don't press down on the cabbage and create this dome shape. With the double egg covering the entire dish, it looks great! When you split it in half, it's soft and delicious. The noodles are slightly thick and chewy, the vegetables are perfectly tender, and the flavor of shiso and plenty of green onions add a nice touch. Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is the best! The "Otafuku sauce" from Hiroshima that locals love is a must-have at home, it's an essential part of the dish. I wish I could have ordered an extra serving like with tonkotsu ramen. Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki in Tokyo Station, what a treat! Thank you for the meal!
