Eichan

Part of the appeal at Eichan is deciding between pork and squid okonomiyaki. Visitors describe the pork version as having soft batter and crisp pork, with the sweetness of the cabbage meeting the savoury sauce. Another diner noted its fragrant surface and fluffy centre—a comforting choice for anyone in the mood for straightforward okonomiyaki.

One review also praised the squid version for its generous amount of squid. Choose the pork for its crisp, savoury notes or the squid for a more substantial filling, depending on your mood. Some diners found a single pancake a manageable size, while others tried both varieties.

You can eat in or take your meal away. Visitors report buying food to take home from the shopping arcade, as well as eating freshly cooked okonomiyaki inside. It works well for lunch or a light meal.

Hiyashi-ame, a chilled ginger drink, is another menu highlight. It can accompany your okonomiyaki or make a light stop-in drink. The restaurant is open daily except Friday, from 10:30 to 16:30. Payment is cash only.
