This is okonomiyaki, Hiroshima-style. No flames, no gimmicks, no shrimp tossed through the air. Just real food, real chefs, and a little bit of action if you want in on the fun. You’ll sit grill-side with a bilingual guide and a professional okonomiyaki chef, learning how this layered, savory pancake became a local staple. Choose from four different versions, including meat, seafood, vegetarian, and a gluten-free option (available by request). If you want to try your hand at cooking, the chef will guide you step by step. If you’d rather just relax and eat, that’s totally fine too. This is a small group experience at a real local restaurant, not a tourist trap, and you’ll leave full, happy, and maybe just a little proud of your creation.

Osaka’s okonomiyaki gets a lot of love, but Hiroshima’s version does things its own way. Instead of tossing everything together, Hiroshima layers batter, cabbage, bean sprouts, noodles, meat or seafood, and a fried egg, cooking each piece carefully. It’s bigger, more detailed, and usually made right in front of you by chefs who really know their craft.
