Osaka: Must-Try Okonomiyaki at Fukutaro (鉄板焼 福太郎)

When it comes to local foods in Osaka, okonomiyaki is a must-try. There are many restaurants serving this dish, and each one has a great reputation. We had dinner at Fukutaro (鉄板焼 福太郎), one of the popular okonomiyaki restaurants near our hotel.

They don’t accept reservations, so we waited for about an hour. First, we ordered our drinks. I had yuzu tea. Yuzu is a type of citron. It’s sweet but not too sweet, and it didn’t overpower the taste of the okonomiyaki.

In Kanto region, many okonomiyaki restaurants require customers to cook their own okonomiyaki. I was surprised to learn that most okonomiyaki restaurants in Osaka cook the dish in front of you. Since I’m not good at cooking, this was great!

They cook many okonomiyaki at once. It’s impressive!

We ordered Yakisoba with Tendon. I was surprised by its springy texture. We shared it like we were scrambling to finish it… :p It also had garlic.

Tongarikun is an original dish from the shop, based on tonpeiyaki. Tonpeiyaki consists of pork and cabbage, covered with egg. In addition, Fukutaro adds gari (pickled ginger).

The fried eggs were incredibly soft, with the yolks almost raw, as you can see.

Finally, we had Negiyaki with pork. Unlike Tongarikun, this one was well-cooked. The flavor of the Worcester sauce was excellent!
