It generally contains about 11 layers which consist of various types of vegetables, moderate portions of protein, a decent layer of carbs, and a few layers of extra flavor.


And although each layer brings their own flavor and texture to the table, it's the famous Otafuku sauce that brings them all together.

Hiroshima style okonomiyaki has a few distinguishing features compared to the more widely known Osaka style.

For one, each ingredient has its own layer. That means keeping each layer in order during cooking and merging all layers requires more attention and a little extra dexterity from the chef.

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

Keep in mind that the best seats in the house are right at the counter!

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.

Kumadori sushi restaurant is located in the heart of Glendale, CA that serves the quality sushi made with fresh ingredients daily.

Great sushi find in Glendale. Not like the touristy places around here, this is the real deal with great omakase and fresh. Recommend the Japanese omakase if you like uni.

The sheer confidence of this place, being neighbors with a CPK and an Olive Garden, should pique your interest alone. The chef delivers an omakase that is expansive, innovative, and playful, right down to the smiley-faced radish slices. It’s hard to pick a high note, but for me, it was the blue crab hand roll, made right at your table. This place isn’t cheap, but the experience will reward you, dollar for dollar, exponentially more than buffalo chicken pizza and infinite breadsticks.

Had a wonderful experience at Sushi Sasabune. If you're looking for the best sushi in Glendale, look no further. I come here a few times a month. I sat at the Sushi Bar for the Omakase experience and spoke with the chef's throughout the courses. They were very friendly and informative about all of the dishes throughout the night. Knew where all of the fish were caught and of course prepared them themselves. The rice at Sasabune was very unique compared to most sushi restaurants and had a lot more flavor with every bite. It has become my favorite sushi rice over time. It was very tasty and complimented the dishes nicely. At first I thought it overpowered some of the more delicate fish, but over time I wonder how I ever ate sushi with any other rice. Wonderful meal and high quality sushi! On the pricey side, but you come here for the excellent quality and know what you're getting. I can't wait to come back! Pro-tip, the chef's like Yamahai Sake
