The father of Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki
The founder of Mitchan started the current Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki in Hiroshima. The thick okonomiyaki sauce, the idea of adding cabbage, bean sprouts and noodles, the way of eating it on a teppan (iron plate) with metal spatulas...all of them were brought by Mitchan.

Tokusei Special with splendid toppings
Although okonomiyaki menus can be infinite by combination of ingredients and toppings, our recommendation is Tokusei Special (1,350 yen). The basic okonomiyaki has noodles, meat and egg. This filling menu additionally has tempura squid, raw squid, raw shrimp and mochi, and it has a rich taste from the seafood broth.

Teppanyaki side dishes
They have teppanyaki dishes as side dishes. Try this delicious Kaki-yaki (900 yen), grilled Hiroshima famous oyster. Large and fresh oysters are well cooked and when you bite it, the juice will come out in your mouth.
