Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan｜Kataoka

Honestly one of the best meals I had in Japan. Absolutely delicious and very affordable. The sweet woman who owns the restaurant has been cooking for like 50 years or something and she was SOO welcoming and kind. One of the people in our group needed to nurse her infant and the owner let her back into her private space in the back to nurse. Would LOVE to go back and eat more okonomiyaki!!

Really enjoyed my experience here. There’s one grilled with maybe 6 seats total. The lady that runs it just talks and makes the food right there in front of you. The okonomiyaki was quite good, and the people next to me had yaki udon and fried rice, which also looked delicious. Nice cozy experience.

Cute okonomiyaki restaurant run by older couple. 2 large okonomiyaki plus beers was 1,900 yen very reasonable :)
