Excellent okonomiyaki from the popular "Omoni" in Ikuno, Osaka, opens a new location hidden away in Grand Front

The famous okonomiyaki restaurant "Omoni," founded over 50 year ago in Ikuno, Osaka and celebrating 7 years in Soemon-cho, enjoys the privilege of being the only okonomiyaki restaurant on the gourmet floor of Grand Front Osaka. Its popularity draws a steady stream of customers to the street side location in Soemon-cho, from young people working in the area, to families and tourists both from within Japan and from overseas.

The key is "less flour, more cabbage"

The key to the okonomiyaki here is to use as little flour as possible, instead opting for a generous amount of cabbage folded into egg to bring out the full flavor of the ingredients. Cooked thoroughly on the hotplate to draw out the moisture and sweetness of the cabbage, finishing with a delightfully fluffy texture. You'll be surprised at how the ingredients come together in a harmony not usually found in regular okonomiyaki.

Late hours are also the secret to success

The most popular item on the menu is the Omoni-yaki special (1,200 JPY), filled with pork, squid, shrimp, and scallops. Their appeal also lies in the restaurant layout. Instead of at the counter, customers sit at tables with plenty of space to relax. As the restaurant is open until morning all week, the Soemon-cho location is also well-loved by people who work or play late in the area. Why not add it to your own Minami nightlife repertoire?
