🍜 Okonomiyaki Mizuno

The okonomiyaki specialty store "Okonomiyaki Mizuno (美津の)" is located in the bustling Dotonbori area of Osaka. Since its establishment in 1945, it has been a beloved old brand restaurant among locals and has been featured in the Michelin Guide for six consecutive years. Now run by the third-generation owner, it adheres to the philosophy of being a "constantly evolving old shop," offering delicious new menus while maintaining traditional flavors. The sourcing of ingredients is centered around the Kuromon Market, known as Osaka's kitchen, where fresh meats and fish are purchased from butcher shops, fishmongers, and professionals, which is a commitment of Mizuno. The daily supply is precisely what is needed for that day, placing great importance on the freshness of the ingredients. The most popular dish, "Yamiyaki," is a masterpiece made without any flour, using only 100% yam batter for baking. Customers can also choose their favorite toppings such as scallops or pork belly. Additionally, the restaurant's signature dish, "Mizuyaki," is highly recommended, allowing diners to savor the deliciousness of six ingredients, including pork, squid, and special minced meat. There are also rich menu options such as "Yoshoku-yaki," which is the root of the restaurant, and "Yoshoku MODAN-yaki," which features egg noodles on top. For groups visiting together, there are set menus that allow for enjoying multiple flavors at once. After the staff prepares the dishes, they are placed on a teppan, allowing guests to enjoy piping hot food until the very end.

A great location within walking distance of Namba and Osaka Nipponbashi. We insist on sourcing ingredients daily from specialty stores to ensure freshness. The "Yamiyaki" made from 100% yam is very popular. There are set menus available for sharing among several people with various flavors. A well-known restaurant recommended by the Michelin Bib Gourmand.
