Higashiosaka, Osaka, Japan｜お好み焼き・たこ焼き春美

In the past, when the winter high school rugby tournament was held at Hanazono Rugby Stadium, there were parking lots and fields around the stadium, and there were no restaurants, and the spectators who were waiting in line to enter the rugby field were cold, so they had to use the restrooms at home. He said he came to borrow it. If people were coming anyway, they decided to open a restaurant as a meeting place, so they opened Okonomiyaki. After the rugby match is over, the customers next to each other become friends without even realizing it. Before I knew it, this year was the 37th anniversary of the store's owner, an elderly woman. ``It's an old Showa era okonomiyaki,'' I said, as I placed the heart-warming okonomiyaki on the iron plate and enjoyed it. The store is filled with autographs from people involved in rugby. Thank you for the meal.

After watching rugby in Hanazono, we recommend that you stop by this shop to soak in the afterglow🏉🏉 The inside of the store is by no means large, but the "Takoyaki" that the owner's love for rugby is poured into will make your tongue tremble. Takoyaki "¥300"😝 It is a hot spot for rugby pilgrimage👍 #Hanazono #Takoyaki #Rugby

Harumi Okuno (70) runs an okonomiyaki restaurant, Harumi, in a corner of a residential area just a short walk from the Kintetsu Hanazono Rugby Stadium. The restaurant will be full if 10 people enter. The walls and ceiling are filled with autographs of rugby players from around the world. It has been 33 years since Ms. Harumi, who is loved by athletes as her mother, opened the store.
