How to keep its quality

The major ingredient in okonomiyaki, cabbage is selected from different production areas all over Japan depending on the season. Only these employees who passed the test can grill okonomiyaki. The noodles are fresh and the okonomiyaki mixture must be rested for more than 4 hours. By this strict and uncompromising approach, this place has been able to maintain its delicious flavor.
