When traveling to Osaka, you definitely can’t miss the extremely popular okonomiyaki restaurant Ajinoya Honten! Their okonomiyaki is made with plenty of domestically grown cabbage, and just thinking about it makes my mouth water! We went before the usual mealtime, but there was already a huge line outside. We waited for over an hour before finally getting a table. Its popularity is no joke!
My sincere advice: Make a reservation in advance! The reservation fee is absolutely worth paying! When your reservation time arrives, you can go straight inside without waiting in the walk-in line, saving you a ton of time. It’s really worth it!
This time, we ordered the okonomiyaki set, and every dish was satisfying. The teppan-fried noodles were especially good, with a wonderful aroma and rich sauce. The noodles smelled so good sizzling on the griddle, and I couldn’t stop eating them! Paired with piping-hot okonomiyaki and a cold alcoholic drink, it was simply the perfect combination!
