As Hiroshima rebuilt from a burnt wasteland after the war, okonomiyaki has had a varied history.

The father of Hiroshima okonomiyaki and the man who established it as Hiroshima soul food was Mitsuo Ise. The okonomiyaki at Mitchan Souhonten is full of his particular attention to detail.

With the motto of "Okonomiyaki that you can eat every day without getting bored," they are thorough in everything from how they cut the batter and ingredients, how they grill it, to the sauces they use. They continue to preserve Hiroshima okonomiyaki without changing the traditional style.
