Hiroshima-Style Okonomiyaki Restaurant "Acchichi! Asakusa" Opens in Nishi-Asakusa

Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki restaurant "Acchichi! Asakusa" (Nishi-Asakusa 2, Taito-ku) opened on October 23 on Kokusai-dori in Asakusa.

The restaurant is housed in a renovated old house, with 8 counter seats facing the teppan griddle on the 1st floor and table seats on the 2nd floor.

Standing at the griddle is manager Naoya Furudate. He is from the Tohoku region and previously worked at an izakaya. He decided to open the restaurant after being invited by the company's representative, a Hiroshima native who had been a customer at that izakaya. This is the company's first restaurant. He learned how to cook the dish while having people from Hiroshima check the taste, and a part-time staff member from Hiroshima also works as a cook.

Main Menu

• Buta-tama with soba: 1,430 yen
• Buta-tama: 1,045 yen
• Mix (with squid, green onion, and seafood)

Soba can be swapped for udon, and toppings can be freely combined. Furudate recommends putting mozzarella cheese inside the negi-yaki (green onion okonomiyaki). The restaurant also offers teppan dishes such as pork kimchi, tonpei-yaki, and sirloin steak, as well as small dishes such as "shirasu oroshi," made with spicy daikon radish. It also uses Hiroshima ingredients such as oysters, lemon, and Hiroshima-na pickles.

Orders are taken via QR code, which allows the staff to value conversation with customers. The restaurant hopes locals, tourists, and international visitors alike will enjoy the taste of Hiroshima.

Business hours: 11:00-22:00.
