Okonomiyaki Yukari Sonezaki Main Store

A popular okonomiyaki restaurant headquartered in Osaka's Sonezaki Ohatsu Tenjin-dori Shopping Street, with more than 10 locations across the Kansai and Kanto regions. In addition to classics such as pork and squid okonomiyaki, its creative options include one made with five types of cheese and a giant okonomiyaki weighing over 1 kg.

The restaurant's popularity comes from its careful selection of the ingredients that determine the flavor of its okonomiyaki: cabbage, flour, eggs, mayonnaise, broth, and sauce. The recipe was created by a chef at Parlor Yukari, the Western-style restaurant that preceded the current business. While it has evolved with the times, its core has been carefully preserved. Watching the staff cook okonomiyaki on the griddle is another reason the restaurant is loved by people from Osaka and around the world.

The restaurant also offers Okonomiyaki-Making Workshops as a fun introduction to okonomiyaki culture. Participants make their own okonomiyaki, from mixing the ingredients to adding sauce and mayonnaise. (*Check which locations offer workshops. Reservations required.)
