When visiting Kobe Sannomiya, of course you have to plan a meal featuring a local specialty! This time, I visited Misaku, an okonomiyaki restaurant known for Kobe's famous beef tendon.
This restaurant is quite popular in Sannomiya. Even on weekdays, there are often one or two groups waiting outside, which shows just how popular it is.
The interior isn't large, with mainly a counter and one table for four. There aren't many seats, but since many customers choose to sit at the counter, quickly eat one serving, and leave, the turnover is fairly fast. If you're dining alone or with one other person, you usually have a better chance of being seated quickly.
There are two types of okonomiyaki here:
- **Regular okonomiyaki**: A mixed okonomiyaki that leans toward Osaka style.
- **Thin and crispy okonomiyaki**: Kobe-style layered okonomiyaki with a more distinctive texture.
Each has a different flavor. The batter has the rich aroma of broth, and the texture is fluffy and layered, making it hard to stop after just one bite.
It's no wonder so many customers make a special trip here even on weekdays. Being able to enjoy okonomiyaki with such a distinctive local character in Kobe really makes it worth adding to your food itinerary.
