Okonomimura (okonomi Village)

Delicious, local food of Hiroshima which is prepared right in front of your eyes. You get it served on the hot plate it was cooked on. a kind of omelette with pasta. The atmosphere is great!

Great experience. Went to the stall directly to the left once you walk up the first flight of stairs. The service was impeccable. English menu available, easy to order, quick service and great portion for price. Water was topped up without having to ask. They also gave me a sauce bottle to put to my own taste. Food was delicious and a must try in Hiroshima!

The second floor was sold out apparently so a man came out to let us know. There were some tourists in front that he also told; but I saw some locals go in after us… but whatever it was fine. We went to a stall on the third floor and although things were busy we were able to eat our okonomiyaki. 3rd floor stall is great!

Yummy!! It is a building with multiple levels and many stalls. It is difficult to select the one to go as they are so many. Just explore all levels and there is no wrong decision. It is really delicious and a must try in Hiroshima. Watching the preparation is also an experience. We only tried one restaurant on the highest floor but I think all of them are delicious. If you are vegetarian mention it upfront. Often English Menü is available otherwise use Google Translate :

My first experience with a Japanese pancake. This place was like a food court, with 4 or 5 different vendors offering meals. We just sat down at one randomly. Not sure of all of the seasonings but basic ingredients were a tortilla type shell, lettuce, bean sprouts, noodles, bacon, egg, and cheese. I added shrimp to mine. You sit at a bar and food is prepared on a griddle type surface in front of you. You eat right off this grill surface. The food was awesome. This place had a very street food type feel. Not a restaurant. I would highly recommend. They have typical drinks and some beer. The beer in a frosted mug was awesome after a long day of doing the tourist thing.
