Osaka, Japan｜Jigen

Absolutely wonderful yakisoba and okonomiyaki! Best I've ever had - they make in on the hot plate in front of you. For people sensitive to smoke, take note that this is a fully smoking establishment. If you are sensitive, I suggest going at a time where there is less people, and maybe taking a counter seat so that the ventilator can help reduce some of the smoke. But take note - this place is entirely in Japanese so you will need to be able to know Japanese in order to read the menu and order etc (they will ask you if you're ok to add mayo, ginger etc).

Fantastic small restaurant. We walked in, sat in front of the teppan and ordered some eringi and tofu for starters. The eringi with butter and lemon were delicious. (Note to self: must try this at home.) I had an ebi-tama (prawns and egg) okonomiyaki and my wife had an ika-tama (squid and egg) okonomiyaki. Both were delicious. Highly recommended.

It was a really nice atmosphere. Open on Monday also. No smoking. Delicious Delicious!
