About Okonomiyaki Mizuno

At this 17-seat counter in Dotombori, master chef Mizuno-san crafts okonomiyaki with 30 years of precision. His signature 'yaki modan' layers crispy noodles, pork, seafood, and a mountain of shredded cabbage, all cooked on a sizzling teppan before your eyes. Topped with sweet-savory sauce, creamy mayo, and dancing bonito flakes, each bite is a symphony of textures. For ¥500 extra, add 'mountain cheese' — a molten, golden crust that takes it over the top. The intimate, smoky ambiance and front-row seat to the chef's spatula artistry make this a quintessential Osaka experience at ¥2,500–3,000 per person.

  • Add the 'mountain cheese' topping (¥500) for a gooey, golden crust that elevates the dish.
  • Watch the chef's spatula flip — it's a precise art, and you can ask questions between flips.

  • No vegetarian option, but the seafood and pork can be omitted upon request (inform chef in advance).
