Onomichi, Hiroshima, Japan｜Kuchi Hatcho

The food is so delicious! Even though the okonomiyaki was okonomiyaki, it had a taste that I've never had anywhere else except with plenty of cabbage. The menu other than okonomiyaki was delicious and I was very satisfied. You can enter with zero waiting time, and there is a TV on while the food is being baked, so you can watch it. The staff seemed cheerful and the atmosphere was good. Please be careful as the parking lot is not next door ⚠️

Came in on a Sunday afternoon. We arrived before opening and there were already 3 people waiting. After that, around 12 o'clock, it was almost full. I had high hopes that it would be a popular restaurant. Parking is available near the store. By the way, the next door is the site of another store. There is a sign for the parking lot, so if you are seeing it for the first time, it would be better to check it on Street View. The inside of the store was a counter and a tatami room seat. I sat at the counter and ordered 2 "special yaki" soba noodles (1,320 yen). You can choose between udon and soba, but it seems that only soba can be made with two balls. While orders from other customers and phone orders are coming in one after another, the clerk is silently grilling alone. It took a while to be served, but please be patient. The long-awaited "Special Yaki" looks great with a soft-boiled fried egg on top! When you break it with a spatula, the yolk overflows into the okonomiyaki, whetting your appetite. Soba is crispy and has a good texture. The cabbage inside is delicious with a moderately steamed feeling. There are a lot of ingredients such as pork, squid tempura, squid, shrimp, and sand mound. I wondered if "special yaki" means "all in". I had 2 balls, so it was enough to eat and I was full. In addition, we wanted to repeat. In addition, it seems that cash and PayPay can be used for accounting.

2023.4.11 First visit I went to this store because it was recommended by a business partner in Onomichi. I had the sand zuri ponzu sauce and okonomiyaki special. The okonomiyaki was delicious with the squid tempura being fragrant and chewy. Sand zuri was also great with beer! I think I want to go again.
