Hiroshima, Japan｜Hana

After searching through Okonomimura unsuccessfully for a place to eat, my friends and I came across this ma and pa style okonomiyaki restaurant with the most courteous and welcoming owners and staff. I got the regular okonomiyaki with vegetables, cheese, kimchi and negi and it was hands down the BEST I’ve ever had in my life. Absolutely 25/10!

A Hiroshima yaki shop that has been open for 16 years. The cooking is meticulous and the taste is very good. The price is much cheaper than the okonomiyaki village in the city. The most important thing is that the boss and his family are very welcoming. Although we could only communicate briefly, we really had a pleasant dinner!

We asked a local for a recommendation for a good okonomiyaki restaurant and we were told to try Hana Okonomiyaki. The restaurant is well-worth the short five- minute walk from the tram station at Minamimachi 2 Chome. The food was incredibly good and reasonably- priced with large portions. It is a family-run place with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We tried the vegetable okonomiyaki with soba noodles and it was so amazing we are thinking of taking a later train tomorrow in order to go back.
