Ajinoya Honten
restaurant
味乃家 本店
Bib Gourmand-recognized shop serving fluffy okonomiyaki and savory yakisoba in a lively location.
Ajinoya Honten in Osaka's Namba district holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its okonomiyaki, the Osaka-style savory pancake cooked on a teppan griddle at each table. The texture here is notably light and airy, with a crispy exterior and a soft, almost creamy interior, a contrast that sets it apart from denser versions you'll find elsewhere. Order the house version with pork, squid, and shrimp, dressed with tangy sauce, mayonnaise, bonito flakes, and aonori. Yakisoba and modanyaki with noodles round out the menu. The atmosphere is loud and communal, diners hunched over sizzling griddles, which is exactly what okonomiyaki in Osaka is supposed to feel like.
