Negiyaki Yamamoto Umeda EST

"Negiyaki" is a savory pancake made by mixing finely chopped green onions into a flour-based batter and grilling it on a hot teppan. The combination of the crispy green onions and the toasty, fragrant batter creates an irresistible flavor that captivates even international tourists.

This dish was created about half a century ago at the main store of "Negiyaki Yamamoto." Initially, it was a meal for the staff, but it caught the attention of regular customers and eventually became a menu item. The restaurant also originated the practice of adding lemon juice to their homemade soy sauce, giving the dish a refreshing taste that appeals to people of all ages.

The classic version includes green onions, beef tendon, and konnyaku (a type of jelly made from konjac yam). There are also deluxe versions with added squid, shrimp, and scallops, as well as a winter special with oysters. In addition to negiyaki, the menu features okonomiyaki (savory pancakes enjoyed with sauce and mayonnaise), yakisoba (fried noodles), and salted grilled seafood, which makes a perfect beer snack.
