Hiroshima
Hiroshima is known for its unique style of okonomiyaki, a savory pancake that reflects the city’s history and daily life. Unlike Kansai-style, where ingredients are mixed, Hiroshima-style is layered with batter, cabbage, meat, noodles, and egg. This method developed after World War II, when affordable meals were needed during recovery.
After the war, food stalls spread across the city, and okonomiyaki became a popular local dish. Over time, each shop developed its own techniques and flavors, creating subtle differences that define Hiroshima’s food culture.
Okonomimura, in the city center, brings together many small shops, making it easy to compare different styles in one place. In contrast, Hiroshima Station’s Ekimae Hiroba offers a more local setting, where residents regularly enjoy okonomiyaki.
Together, these locations show both the cultural and everyday sides of Hiroshima’s okonomiyaki.
