I have been eating this okonomiyaki since I was a child. It is fluffy and very delicious. There are many varieties to choose from, making it perfect for sharing (lol). The cheese okonomiyaki is especially recommended. You can take off your shoes when entering the restaurant, and they also have a drink bar, so you end up staying longer than planned (lol).

It was my first time visiting this place, and I was pleasantly surprised! At this restaurant, you can cook your own okonomiyaki on the hot plate in front of you. If you're not sure how to do it, they will show you. I recommend the Okonomiyaki Modern because the soba noodles are delicious. I would love to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

On May 30th (Monday), my wife and I went to see the irises at Yamada Ike Park, and then it was time for lunch. This restaurant is one we used to visit often after our son's middle school track meets (back then, the high school student staff seemed a bit lazy and left a bad impression). We arrived around 1 o'clock. The restaurant is spacious and quite popular. The service was good today, maybe because it's a weekday and the staff are not high school students? My wife ordered the "Ladies Set" (drink included, salad, fruit, and dessert) with "Yakisoba," while my go-to for okonomiyaki is usually "Pork and Egg" and "Yakisoba," but this time I thought, "Udon sounds good too..." so I ordered "Pork and Egg" and "Hormone Yakisoba." First, the "Hormone Yakisoba"! It looked delicious with plenty of hormone, but... one bite in, it was too sweet! Perhaps they were trying to emulate Tsuyama Hormone Udon, but it didn't suit my taste. I ended up eating just the hormone and leaving most of the udon. The "Pork and Egg" was also... the sauce was just too sweet. I tried mixing in some of the "potentially the spiciest sauce in the world" to make it work... Thank you for the meal. I don't think I'll be coming back again.

This is Lala's log♪ This time, I visited the Kazagai Machiya store. I ordered the chewy and creamy taro yaki with spicy cod roe mayo, and the salt-grilled soba with clams and rapeseed flowers. The taro yaki with spicy cod roe mayo had a deliciously spicy and sweet taste, making it a dish that you could keep eating. The soba had a strong garlic flavor, similar to aglio e olio, but the taste of the clams stood out a lot, while the noodles themselves didn't have much flavor. I thought it would have been even more delicious if the flavor had spread more evenly throughout the noodles. There were many other side dishes on the menu, but I only tried these this time. I'll try more next time! Stay tuned☆ It was Lala♪

The restaurant "Kaze no Machi" in Osaka, known for its spacious interior with tatami seating, established a unique style of family-friendly teppanyaki restaurant with a wide variety of menu options besides okonomiyaki. I visited for the first time in over 15 years and ordered the Pork and Squid Modern-yaki for 1,221 yen. While they are known for their self-grilling option, I opted to have the staff grill it for me. The Modern-yaki came with a choice of udon or soba noodles, and I chose the thin soba noodles. The noodles were served fresh and topped skillfully by the staff. After flipping it over halfway through the recommended 6-minute cooking time, I added sauce, mayonnaise, seaweed, and bonito flakes to my liking. The portion size was generous and the taste was decent. The restaurant also offers a variety of a la carte options, all-you-can-eat deals, and a drink bar. The interior and tatami seating were surprisingly clean and I would like to revisit with my family in the evening. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the okonomiyaki restaurant "Kaze no Machi" near Hirakata City Athletic Stadium. It is a chain restaurant with its first store in Senri, Osaka. They have a salad bar and you can cook your own okonomiyaki, which is really fun. For more information about the restaurant's menu, atmosphere, and recommended points, please check their Instagram, LINE official account, or Facebook if you are using a smartphone. If you are using a computer, please check the URL under "This review was posted from a blog."

Cost performance is good and satisfying. The atmosphere of the store is lively.

It's just a very ordinary okonomiyaki restaurant!

Today, I visited a popular local restaurant for the first time in a few years. Around here, there is fierce competition between restaurants like "Kinta." I arrived around 12:30. I took off my shoes and entered the restaurant... Wait, was it this spacious before?! The tables, tatami seating, everything was a bit cramped and crowded! I was quickly seated at a table, and the place was almost full. I ordered the "Wind City Negi Tama" and my family ordered the "Pork Squid Tama." Since I was driving, I had to settle for water instead of a cold beer. Here, instead of the food being brought to you already cooked, they bring the raw ingredients for you to cook yourself. Of course, they will do it for you if you ask. As an "Osaka person," handling flour dishes is a piece of cake. Back in the day, it was common to cook them yourself! After dealing with a little bit of burnt edges and undercooked parts, we finally finished cooking. The "Wind City Negi Tama" had plenty of ingredients like pork, squid, beef, shrimp, and octopus, but the main ingredient, the green onion, didn't stand out much. We topped it off with plenty of sauce and mayonnaise, and enjoyed the hot and delicious dish. It was a feast. Thank you for the meal. Personal notes: wheelchair accessibility is lacking, separate men's and women's toilets with bidet functions, a kids' room is available, and there is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant.

I went to a okonomiyaki restaurant called "Kaze no Machi". It's a bit far from Hirakata by car, located a little off Route 1 with no nearby train stations. The locals seem to frequent this place a lot, as it gets quite crowded during meal times. They offer a wide variety of regular okonomiyaki dishes, but I opted for the all-you-can-eat option at 1,500 yen, which includes a drink bar and salad bar - a great value for money. One of the highlights is that they also offer all-you-can-eat "monja", which is not commonly found in Kansai. While they cook the yakisoba for you, you can make your own okonomiyaki and monja. It can be a bit challenging, but they provide instructions on a sheet so you can do it yourself. Since the flour-based dishes can be quite filling, especially after drinking, I recommend going easy on the drinks if you want to try a variety of dishes. The taste is really delicious, and it's no wonder why many people come back multiple times. It's a popular spot with a great atmosphere. I plan to go again, but this time I'll go easy on the drinks.

I went to "Kaze no Machi Hirakata" for lunch on a regular weekday. Although I had passed by on weekends and it seemed crowded, I was curious. The building looked old from the outside, like an old public bathhouse. I left my shoes in the shoe locker and entered. I arrived around 1 pm on a weekday, so I was seated right away, but there were still about 10 groups inside. There were table seats, tatami mats, and small private rooms. Since it was a special occasion, I ordered the okonomiyaki set meal that I had been thinking about getting for a while (lol). Okonomiyaki with rice...■Okonomiyaki set meal 760 yen Rice, pickles, miso soup included I chose the pork and cabbage okonomiyaki. Since coming to Osaka, I had noticed that many okonomiyaki restaurants cook it for you, but here they asked, "Shall I cook it for you?" so I said, "Yes." Well, before coming to Osaka, it was normal to cook it yourself... I started cooking it after mixing it, and then I served the rice.■The set meal buffet includes unlimited rice, oshinko (pickled vegetables), and miso soup. There was also a salad bar next to it, but I guess that wasn't included.■Yakisoba set meal 760 yen Rice, pickles, miso soup included The yakisoba was served already cooked. The okonomiyaki and yakisoba were both quite filling, and just that alone made me full. The yakisoba had a strong flavor, so I could eat it with rice, but of course, okonomiyaki and rice couldn't be eaten together (lol). And, the rice topped with bonito flakes was so good! It's been a while since I had okonomiyaki, and it was delicious. I'll definitely come back again! They also have a full-fledged all-you-can-eat option, which is tempting (lol).

For lunch one day, I decided to try out the popular restaurant called Kazagai in Hirakata, which I had always been curious about. When I arrived before noon, the parking lot was full, indicating its popularity. Upon entering the restaurant, I had to leave my shoes at the entrance and choose between sitting at a table or in a tatami room. I opted for a table seat. The restaurant had a buffet area in the center, tatami seating in the back right, and regular table seating elsewhere. The left side of the table seating was separated by curtains, giving it a semi-private feel, making it suitable for larger groups. I ordered the okonomiyaki set meal with unlimited rice, miso soup, and pickles, choosing the pork and egg variety. Despite it being a weekday, the lunch rush was evident, but I managed to get a table quickly. After a short wait, a bowl containing the ingredients for the okonomiyaki was brought to my table. To my surprise, I had to cook it myself! I started by grilling the pork on the hot plate, then mixed the egg, cabbage, and flour together on top. Once combined, I spread the mixture in a circular shape over the pork and cooked it through. While it cooked, I helped myself to rice, miso soup, and pickles from the buffet area. Once both sides of the okonomiyaki were cooked, I brushed it with sweet sauce, sprinkled bonito flakes and seaweed over it, drizzled a bit of mayonnaise, and added some spicy sauce on top. It was ready to eat! The spicy sauce had a good kick to it, balancing well with the other flavors. Eating okonomiyaki with rice may seem like a lot of carbs, but it was a perfect comfort meal, especially during the winter. The miso soup with seaweed was slightly warm, and the pickles were tasty. Even without getting seconds of rice, I felt satisfied. Traditionally, okonomiyaki should be made with powdered bonito flakes, but this time I had it with shaved bonito. Mayonnaise, once considered unconventional, has now become a regular topping. The Osaka rule of not touching each other's okonomiyaki or sharing is still upheld, even when dining with family. My stomach was full and satisfied after the meal. It was delicious! Paying 760 yen was worth it. Thank you for the meal!

This is a shop that I visit many times. It is in a very convenient location to reach by car. The parking lot is also quite spacious. ☆Food★ I have tried many things, but the highly recommended dish is the "Negiyaki" (green onion pancake). You can cook it yourself and season it to your liking, so you can have your own personalized okonomiyaki. Negiyaki is somehow harder to flip than okonomiyaki (laughs). After cooking, you can cut it in half, with one half topped with "super spicy sauce" and the other half with "ponzu" sauce – it's amazing. The super spicy sauce is really spicy, so it's best to mix it with regular okonomiyaki sauce. The "yakisoba" (fried noodles) is also recommended. Sharing one serving of yakisoba between two people is the perfect amount (assuming each person eats one okonomiyaki). If you order okonomiyaki and yakisoba together, they will arrive quickly, so it's better to order the yakisoba a bit later. The variety of rice sizes available is also appealing. Soft drinks are complimentary when you order okonomiyaki, which is great. And don't forget to try the soft serve ice cream. It's a mix of sherbet and cream, with about a 1:9 ratio. The matcha flavor is recommended. ★Atmosphere☆ You can choose between tables, tatami mats, or sunken kotatsu tables. If you're going with children, I don't recommend the tables as they are narrow. While four people can technically fit at one table, it's a bit cramped. But that can also be fun. The best seating option is for 2-3 people. You have to take off your shoes at the entrance, so shoes that are hard to take off are not recommended. The staff are all very nice, mostly high school students. They come right away when you raise your hand. With a good number of staff, the service is excellent. ☆Other★ If you become a member, you'll receive discount coupons in the mail, even during New Year's. They have a points card for payments, which is the same as Kirindo (drugstore), so I always use it.

I often go to this restaurant for lunch. When you enter the restaurant, you first take off your shoes. You can choose between table seating and tatami seating, which is great for going with family or friends. You can cook your own okonomiyaki. Each table has a hourglass timer, and they also provide tips on how to cook it deliciously, so you can feel at ease. The "One Whole Salad" is not a salad bar, and refills are not allowed. The challenge is to see how much you can pile on your plate! The intense competition without any room for error is exciting. The staff are also very friendly.

Spacious restaurant where you can enjoy "okonomiyaki" in a relaxed self-cooking style. Menu includes okonomiyaki, yakisoba, etc. (from 630 yen) - and all customers who order can enjoy free drinks at the drink bar. Reservations for up to about 50 people are available (weekdays) and parking is available. During lunchtime, coffee is also included for free. It's a great service, right? You might become particular about your own cooking skills! However, please note that they won't cook it for you (^^; I've never cooked okonomiyaki or yakisoba before, so I couldn't do it well (tears)

I went with my parents to a place called Kazeno Machi, which is a okonomiyaki restaurant that my mother and I love! I had known for a long time that the Hirakata branch offers all-you-can-eat, and I had always wanted to go someday. I can't remember how many years it has been since I last came here... (laughs) [All-you-can-eat details] It costs 1,500 yen per adult, with a salad bar and drink bar included. I'm sorry, but I forgot the time limit. [What I ate] First, the salad bar! It had the usual variety of items like pasta salad and fruit, which I was happy to see. Now, onto the okonomiyaki! - Ikayaki: Easy-to-eat size with plenty of squid! - Okonomiyaki: Fluffy and delicious! - BB Monja B: Baby Star Ramen and bacon combination! It felt like a snack but surprisingly delicious. - Yakisoba: They cooked it for us and brought it over immediately. Hot and delicious! - Corn Tamago with Cheese Topping: Topped with cheese, it was gooey and delicious. - Yakisoba: Cooked and brought to us. The chewy noodles and delicious vegetables made me happy. Everything was more delicious than I expected! I would love to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal! Other all-you-can-eat menu items included okonomiyaki with pork or kimchi, monja with two other variations, and various toppings like green onions, rice cakes, modern yakisoba, and modern yakisoba. I apologize for my poor memory...

The major feature of this restaurant is that customers have to mix and cook their own "okonomiyaki" batter. The staff won't help or assist in any way. It's a big question whether everyone can do it well on their own. Providing delicious "okonomiyaki" is the restaurant's responsibility, and in that sense, they didn't fulfill it completely. As for the taste, I tried the okonomiyaki (mix), but it didn't cook well, so it wasn't tasty (it was half-raw inside). I won't go back again, and I didn't expect to have to cook it myself, so I almost want a refund.

At this okonomiyaki restaurant, you get to cook it yourself. When you order, they bring you the batter with ingredients already mixed in. You then mix it further and cook it on the hot plate. You can check when to flip it using the hourglass on the table. It's quite fun. If you find it too much trouble to do it yourself, you can ask the staff to cook it for you. On this day, I ate until I was full, had some beer, and even had dessert, so it added up, but if you're just eating, it should be a bit cheaper. This place is busy not only on weekends but also on weekdays.

It feels like a family-friendly okonomiyaki restaurant in a casual dining setting. The interior and parking lot are spacious. It's lively with kids, probably because it's a holiday. It seems common for okonomiyaki restaurants in Kansai to have customers cook their own food. It would be nice if it was a bit cheaper since it's self-service. Cooking your own food is fun and delicious though.
