The Best Okonomiyaki In Kyoto, Japan
Sushi bars and ramen places are everywhere in Japan, but local street food is something you don’t want to miss. Okonomiyaki, a Japanese savoury pancake with ingredients of your own choice, is very popular. While it is present in every part of Japan, different regions have different varieties of okonomiyaki. Check out the following places to see where to find the tasty pancake in Kyoto.
1. Donguri (どんぐり 京都駅前東店)
Restaurant, Japanese
Donguri, with the aim of becoming the No.1 okonomiyaki shop in Kyoto, has been striving for the unique taste of Kyoto okonomiyaki since 1977. While it offers both teppanyaki (food cooked on an iron griddle) and okonomiyaki, it is better known for the latter. Almost every ingredient in Donguri’s okonomiyaki recipe is from Kyoto, from Kyoto flour and rice to Kyoto vegetables and Kujo green onions. Even soy sauce and tofu are carefully selected from local manufacturers. Donguri allows diners to enjoy okonomiyaki in a restaurant setting rather than in a conventional street stall.
