23 okonomiyaki stalls on three floors, born of the post-war markets, in this building since 1992.

On floors 2, 3 and 4 of a seven-storey building in the Shintenchi neighbourhood, 23 okonomiyaki stalls each cook at their own griddle, in full view: every stall offers the same basic menu (soba, pork, egg) at around 810 yen, and they set themselves apart by the style of sauce and toppings.

A building devoted to okonomiyaki, the Hiroshima speciality made in layers of cabbage, soba and egg. Its origins go back to the black-market stalls of the post-war years, gathered together around 1950; in December 1965 they became a permanent structure, later moved into the current building, completed in January 1992.

ℹ️ Each stall has its own hours, mostly from 11:00 until late in the evening; the closing day varies from stall to stall, often Monday.
