Opened in 1965, Ajinoya Honten (味乃家 本店) is a family run business that has been passed down through four generations. Ajinoya is known for their cabbage-heavy okonomiyaki that has a soft and fluffy texture. This Osaka okonomiyaki restaurant was even recognized by the Michelin Guide 2016 and 2017, receiving the Bib Gourmand rating, which refers to recommended restaurants that provide high-quality dining for a moderate price.
While this is not a DIY okonomiyaki place, the owner lets Shizuka behind the teppan to try her hand at making okonomiyaki!

Last time we were in Japan, we had a place where they served traditional Osaka Style, but also Tokyo Monjayaki style, so we tried both styles in Osaka.. Was really fun and great experience. And also had it a couple of times in Tokyo where we had our own tenpan and could make it at our table. Love communal food making. Keep up the good work.

    If Osaka-style Okonomiyaki and Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki are "brothers", then Monjayaki will probably be their long lost "uncle"! 😅 Maybe when @Japan by Food is back in Tokyo, they should bring Shizzy to a Monjayaki restaurant and show us what it is all about! 🤩 Originated from the industry area(shitamachi) of Tokyo during the Meiji Era, Monjayaki (or simply Monja) is made from just water, and a simple flour batter. Monjayaki are sold at popular children's candy shops(dagashiya) and when children come to buy their candies, they would practice their Kanji in the Monjayaki batter that was grilled on a cast iron pan. The name "Monjayaki(文字烧)" literally means “letters grilled”. Today's Monjayaki is a bit different though, unlike Okonomiyaki, Monjayaki is softer and the waiters/chefs(or yourself) usually cook the main ingredients first before pouring the Monjayaki batter into the center. When it is done, you will eat it with a spatula. A very unique Japanese experience! Let me know if Shizzy would love it!

    It’s actually commonly called “soul food” here in Japan so that’s what I’ve been calling it, but on further reflection, Japanese people may be misusing the word. Or, the phrase has a Japanese word origin that I’m unaware of and has been translated to “soul food”.
