Watching masterful chefs preparing Hiroshima style okonomiyaki behind the teppan grill adds to the dining experience.

Part of what makes okonomiyaki so popular is the fun you can have when you eat it! Everyone gets their own “hera” (That’s Japanese for a miniature spatula) with each okonomiyaki. You can use the hera to cut smaller pieces of the okonomiyaki for easier eating or to trade and share pieces with, or you can just use it to eat the okonomiyaki outright! For those not as daring, you can eat the okonomiyaki with ohashi (chopsticks) or a fork.
