"Okonomiyaki," made by mixing cabbage with flour and eggs and then grilling it, is one of Osaka's iconic soul foods. It is typically topped with sauce and mayonnaise and enjoyed hot. Osaka boasts over 1,000 specialty okonomiyaki restaurants, each offering its unique twist on this beloved dish.

Among these, "Ajinoya Honten" stands out as a consistently busy and popular spot, always attracting long lines. The secret to its popularity lies in the generous use of finely shredded, high-quality domestic cabbage, which offers the perfect balance of sweetness and moisture. The result is a deliciously fluffy texture, expertly crafted by skilled chefs.

The restaurant’s top recommendation is the "Ajinoya Mix," which includes pork, squid, octopus, shrimp, minced meat, and two eggs. Another popular and unique dish is the "Fresh Tomato and Cheese Okonomiyaki," featuring an irresistible combination of fresh tomatoes and melted cheese. You can also enjoy a mini okonomiyaki set, which allows you to sample three different flavors, each about 10 cm in diameter. There are also menu options perfect for sharing with a group, making it ideal for a fun meal around the teppan grill.
