Three okonomiyaki places in a row but all were full this Friday night in Golden Week. The 30 minute wait was well worth it though. Our counter seats afforded us the spectacle of the team of chefs preparing a non-stop barrage of sizzling pancakes. The menu includes a decent selection of interesting appetisers and original variations but it's the classic okonomiyaki that's the attraction here. It's expertly prepared and absolutely delicious - if a little small. The young staff and attentive, personable manager made it feel like we were at visiting a friend's establishment. Despite the lack of an English menu, there was a good sprinkling of gaijin diners who looked like return visitors and/or like they had so much experience with good food that they barely fit on the seat. The choice now is whether to go back or check out their neighbours.
