The restaurant is located near Kudanshita station, about a 3-minute walk from the north side of the station. I visited during lunch on the 3rd day after the relocation. I ordered the meatball soba with squid tempura and green onions okonomiyaki. The price was 880 yen plus 170 yen for 2 toppings, totaling 1050 yen. It also came with a side salad. I didn't try their famous Koutaiji-yaki. I sat at the counter in front of the teppan and could watch them cook. The okonomiyaki had a lot of cabbage and the soba noodles were thin and delicious. The cabbage was cooked perfectly, the sauce was not overwhelming, and the squid tempura was tasty. Overall, it was a high-quality okonomiyaki and I was satisfied.

Cabbage World in Hiroshima's Okonomiyaki restaurant seems to be less common in Tokyo. Hanako thinks the Okonomiyaki restaurant is delicious. Welcome to the world of cabbage. The Tonpeiyaki has a crispy texture that is different from Osaka's. It goes really well with beer. The first time trying the Wagyu Corn. Apparently, it's a staple in Hiroshima, but there is limited table space for grilling and wrapping vegetables, which is quite a process. It may be messy with oil, but the taste is good. Everything is an experience. Today, the reliable Koutaidera-yaki is as delicious as ever. Noodles, crispy cabbage, and a full stomach, but saying you're full, then checking again in two hours and feeling a bit hungry. You end up eating something, haha.

The store is filled with Carp goods, making it clear right away that it's for Carp fans. There are also a few signatures displayed, showing that even famous baseball players love this place. I decided to try the udon instead of ramen, and it was surprisingly delicious. The okonomiyaki with udon was a first for me, and it was really tasty. You can also put as much mayonnaise as you want, which made my companion very happy. On Tuesdays, they double the amount of vegetables for Girls' Day, so when I ordered, the okonomiyaki was packed with cabbage and filled me up. It's the kind of okonomiyaki that makes you want to come back for more. There's a big TV and the atmosphere is welcoming, making it a place where you can easily drop by alone as well.

I came because Monday was Vegetable Double Free for women only. I sat at the counter alone, but it was hot and I was sweating a lot. Still, it was fun to watch the okonomiyaki being cooked in front of me, getting squished tightly. After waiting for about 20 minutes, it was ready. The Vegetable Double without pork and noodles for 850 yen was a good deal for lunch around here, and it tasted really delicious. But it might be difficult to come on a day when you don't have much time.

I had a meeting in a nearby rental meeting room and used it for lunch. The fried soba was incredibly delicious. I had the Koutaiji grilled squid tempura topping. It was so good. Squid tempura is really nice. Unfortunately, I couldn't drink alcohol because I had work in the afternoon, but it was a taste worth trying once. I would like to visit again if I have the chance!

During this business trip to Tokyo, there was a rare occasion when I didn't feel like drinking alcohol. I wasn't feeling well, even at night. So, for the first time in a while, I decided to have dinner without any alcohol. I chose to go to this okonomiyaki and teppanyaki restaurant located near my hotel. It's called the Iidabashi branch, but it's actually closer to Kudanshita. It seems like it used to be in the Iidabashi area before relocating. This place is popular around here, and from the blackboard outside, it seems like the owners are from Hiroshima. Therefore, the okonomiyaki they serve is the Hiroshima-style, with thin batter and noodles inside. When it comes to Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, people from Hiroshima get upset, but I mentioned it to distinguish it. I usually avoid flour-based dishes in Komatsu lately, but whenever I go to Hiroshima, I always go to eat okonomiyaki. It's not fun without trying the local cuisine, right? So, on a weekday around 6:45 PM, I entered the restaurant, and about 80% of the table seats were already taken. As a solo diner, I sat at the counter. As I mentioned earlier, I refrained from ordering alcohol due to my health, so I just ordered okonomiyaki. I ordered the "Hanako Special" (1,700 yen) to treat myself a bit since I didn't order alcohol. It's the most expensive okonomiyaki with pork, squid, shrimp, and oysters. The okonomiyaki was cooked right in front of me at the counter. The chef was quick in cooking many okonomiyaki. After a short wait, it was served in front of me. It was a generous portion, with large oysters, pickled ginger, and plenty of green onions. The noodles inside were thin soba noodles, which was perfect for me that day. Okonomiyaki is more enjoyable when eaten with friends while having a good time. Thank you for the meal. The blog post can be found here.

I had been here once before, and this time I tried the Spicy Meatball Noodles for ¥1,000 from the menu. I enjoyed a salad while waiting at the counter for about 15 minutes. The okonomiyaki looked delicious. It was my first time trying the spicy noodles, but they were tasty and went well with the sauce and mayonnaise. If you ever feel like eating okonomiyaki in the area, this is the place to go - Momiji-ya. I'd like to try other menu items here as well.

When going out to lunch with a friend, they insisted on eating okonomiyaki, so we decided to revisit this place. My friend wasn't feeling well and thought okonomiyaki would be good... I couldn't understand the logic at all, but since I was feeling great, I just went along with it and entered the restaurant. The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki was quite large, and you could put on as much sauce and mayonnaise as you liked, which was great! It would have been perfect if I could have had a beer too, but unfortunately I had work afterwards, so I couldn't drink. Maybe I'll try going at night next time!

Located along Mejiro Street, around halfway between Kudanshita and Iidabashi, is a Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki restaurant. This was my first visit since they relocated. I ordered the "Nikutama Soba" (950 yen). The interior seems to have expanded a bit after the move, with a large teppan grill at the counter and table seating. While enjoying the salad, I waited for my dish to be ready. It arrived in about 15 minutes. I poured plenty of Carp sauce and mayonnaise over it. This restaurant uses thin noodles for their yakisoba, which makes it easy to eat. It was delicious! I think I'll try the Kokutaiji-yaki next time.

I went to a Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki restaurant! I sat at the counter and said I should stop eating carbs, but ended up eating anyway because the okonomiyaki looked so delicious being cooked right in front of me. I had Hiroshima vegetables, stir-fried spinach and oysters, tonpeiyaki, Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, and rolled omelette. The Hiroshima vegetables were similar to nanohana, with firm leaves that were tasty. The stir-fried oysters had a good amount of butter and were delicious. The tonpeiyaki had plenty of crispy pork. The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki had a mountain of cabbage that was soft and sweet. The rolled omelette was fluffy and delicious. It was delicious and fun!

This restaurant is located in Hiroshima and specializes in teppanyaki and okonomiyaki. It was featured in the Michelin guide in 2016. The Hiroshima main store is located in Koutaicho, Hiroshima. I came here to try their signature dish, "Koutaicho-yaki". When ordering, I recommend trying the original Koutaicho-yaki, which is made with pork belly instead of pork loin, and the noodles are crispy with fragrant lard. The egg is cooked half-done and enclosed in the center. It's a unique dish that you should definitely try!

I visited based on the recommendation of someone I trust who said this is the most delicious Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. And indeed, it was incredibly tasty! The thin noodles were crispy, there was plenty of cabbage, and the egg was cooked to perfection. The quality of each ingredient was top-notch! I recommend stopping by after visiting the Tokyo Daijingu Shrine. As someone who can't handle alcohol well, having beer available was also a plus!

Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. The large amount of cabbage creates a fluffy texture, while the thin noodles and pork create layers of flavor. The sauce is subtle, but each table has sauce and mayonnaise available for those who want a richer taste. It has a satisfying portion size, making it a fulfilling meal.

I tried being a night owl. There was a wide variety of alcohol available - beer, shochu, highball, as well as Kagotsuru from Hiroshima's Saijo, Dassai from Yamaguchi. I ended up drinking too much. The food selection was also abundant - dried fish salad, beef tendon with ponzu sauce to start, and the alcohol kept flowing. I added tonpeiyaki and drank even more. As we approached the end, I ordered Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. It was delicious as always. Opting for soba instead of udon was a great choice. Finally, I added another highball and finished it all. Thank you for the feast!

Visited on a day when the Carp game was held at the dome on a Saturday. We arrived at 11:30 and were able to sit without any issues. We started with homemade chive dumplings and a toast. The chive dumplings tasted like they were made by hand and were very delicious. For okonomiyaki, we ordered the meatball soba with squid tempura, a must-have, and added green onions this time. The noodles were thin and had a firm texture, not soggy, and the cabbage was well drained. It was a legitimate Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. Thank you for the meal.

This is near the company. It's not as bustling with restaurants as I thought, but it gets quite crowded around Kudan. I always thought Marunouchi or Kasumigaseki were the top office areas, but it seems some people prefer this area. Maybe because Yasukuni Shrine is nearby? There are quite a few business owners who have a strong attachment to the Imperial Palace area. Personally, I would prefer lunch spots in places like Shinbashi or Shinjuku where you don't have trouble finding a place to eat. Hanako-san, an okonomiyaki restaurant. Despite being called okonomiyaki, they serve Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. Oh, I see, I didn't realize that before. The restaurant is quite spacious with plenty of seating. It was past 1 pm, and it was still quite full. They serve the dishes grilled and brought to your table. I wanted to eat something with noodles, so I ordered the Nikutama-han soba for 900 yen, which comes with a salad. A reasonable price. The soba noodles used are actually yakisoba noodles, but what kind of noodles do they use for udon? Like Sanuki or Inaniwa udon that are typically served with just broth? The mayonnaise is on the table, so you can add it yourself. The dish is served with a light drizzle of sauce. If you need more sauce, it's available on the table. I added a little more sauce. The noodles were nicely crispy and grilled. The filling is mainly thinly shredded cabbage. Almost all cabbage. The Kingdom of Cabbage. And yakisoba. There is a little bit of meat in it. It's mostly cabbage, but it's quite filling, maybe because of the noodles. It just occurred to me, but I think I like okonomiyaki because I like wheat flour. Well, this is delicious too. I want to go to Kiji. As I was leaving, I heard a tapping sound, and when I looked over, I saw them chopping mountains of cabbage with a knife. Is it done manually? Is that why it's so finely shredded? Amazing. I wonder how many cabbages they chop in a day. I hope they don't get carpal tunnel syndrome. The popularity of this restaurant is built on the hard work of the staff.

I visited GW for lunch with my friends. I have actually been here a few times before (laughs). This day was Men's Day, where you can get double the noodles as a service, so I decided to challenge it! It was a lot of food, but for only 950 yen, it was quite cheap! Thanks to that, I was extremely sleepy in the afternoon (laughs). I want to visit again in the evening when the timing is right!

It seems that the "Hanako Iidabashi" store in Iidabashi has been moved to Kudanshita. I had the Hanako Special Okonomiyaki for 1570 yen. For lunch, the salad comes first. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki arrived. It contains plenty of seafood such as squid, shrimp, and oysters. The sauce is lightly drizzled, and you can add more sauce or mayonnaise from the table. The thin egg omelette is filled with cabbage, noodles, and pork. The finely chopped cabbage is fluffy but lacks sweetness, which is a bit disappointing. The restaurant details are as follows: - Name: Hanako Iidabashi Store - Google Maps: Hanako Iidabashi Store 03-6380-8024 - Nearest Station: 209m from Kudanshita Station - Business Hours: 11:00-14:00 (L.O. 13:30), 17:30-23:00 (L.O. 22:00) - Closed on Sundays and holidays - Reservation: Available - Seats: 34 seats (Counter 5 seats, Table for 4 people 7 seats, Table for 2 people 2 seats) - Budget: Dinner 4000-4999, Lunch up to 999 - Other Information: No private rooms, available for full rental, all seats non-smoking, no parking. #Hanako #KudanshitaGourmet #Okonomiyaki #DeliciousOkonomiyaki #HiroshimaOkonomiyaki #TokyoHiroshimaOkonomiyaki #GourmetLovers #GourmetInstagram #GurumeMemo #WantToConnectWithGourmetLovers #FoodPornInstagram #FoodTerrorGram #GourmetTravel #DeliciousIsHappiness #LookingForGourmetFriends #GourmetClub #FoodieGirls #FoodieBoys #WantToConnectWithGourmets #KantoGourmet #FoodReportInstagram #GourmetReport #GourmetWriter #FoodWriter #BGradeGourmetInformation #TokyoGourmet

Let's try some delicious Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki here. The menu offers a variety of tempting dishes besides okonomiyaki, and the oyster butter is outstanding. Since oysters are a specialty of Hiroshima, it's not surprising. Some people from Hiroshima may have mixed feelings about whether the okonomiyaki here is truly authentic, but overall, this place is quite popular for its tasty okonomiyaki and other dishes.

We had lunch at a okonomiyaki restaurant with my son after an event at Budokan in the morning on a weekday. We ordered the Kunitaidera-yaki for 950 yen each and two beers for 950 yen each, totaling 2,110 yen. The restaurant was almost full around noon. The Kunitaidera-yaki is named after a location in Hiroshima and is a crispy yakisoba dish. The egg is mixed into the batter, making it fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The solid Carp sauce is delicious and pairs well with the dish. We enjoyed having beer with our meal. The dish takes time to cook, so the turnover rate may be slow, but it's worth the wait. I recommend visiting with plenty of time to spare.

Thank you for the meal m(_ _)m ■ Rating as of March 2023 Tabelog rating 3.41, 27 reviews ■ Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki - History The beginning of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki dates back to the post-war period when there was a shortage of food. At that time, the only option was to make use of the wheat flour provided by the American military. Okonomiyaki was made by mixing water with wheat flour and topping it with a small amount of vegetables like green onions. In Hiroshima, it was a dish to alleviate hunger. Many okonomiyaki restaurants have names ending with "chan" for a reason. Women whose husbands went to the war would transform their house's earthen floor, use their husband's nickname as the shop name, and open a restaurant while waiting for their husband's return. This history reflects the hardships of that time. Hiroshima had many ironworks, making it relatively easy to obtain iron plates and start a business. The current menu style emerged around the mid-1950s.
