✨ Recommended: The harmony of crispy noodles and crunchy cabbage

The star of the show is undoubtedly the 'Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki'. Unlike the Osaka style where ingredients are mixed together, this version layers cabbage, bean sprouts, pork belly, and perfectly cooked noodles on a thin crepe, preserving the natural texture of each ingredient. Be sure to experience the crunch of the noodles, the sweetness of the cabbage, and the rich sauce. Pairing it with 'Oysters with Butter' allows you to fully enjoy the essence of the Hiroshima seaside.
