About this spot

💡 Tips before you go
- Order a side of raw pork belly (chashu) to scoop into your pancake before it's flipped.
- Expect a loud, bustling atmosphere where the chef flips stacks of batter right at your table.
- Bring cash only, as many okonomiyaki stalls in Umeda do not accept credit cards.
