First, I will give you some basic information about "Mitchan Sohonten."
Mitchan Souhonten is a long-established okonomiyaki restaurant founded in Showa and is the origin of Hiroshima okonomiyaki.
As Hiroshima rebuilt from a burnt Hiroshima after the war, okonomiyaki has had a varied history.
Today's classic okonomiyaki, including the creation of okonomiyaki sauce, the combination of ingredients, the inclusion of soba noodles, and the style of eating it with a spatula, all began at "Micchan Souhonten."
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.
We would like to introduce you to the menu of Mitchan Souhonten, the original okonomiyaki restaurant in Hiroshima.
The standard at Mitchan Souhonten is soba with meat and egg. You can eat it as is, or customize it to your liking by adding toppings such as squid, shrimp, or kimchi.
Other popular dishes include udon nikutamago (noodles with meat and egg), which uses udon instead of soba, and kakiiri soba nikutamago (noodles with oysters). If you want to fill up, the special menu with plenty of ingredients is recommended.
Teppanyaki is also popular at Mitchan Souhonten. The teppanyaki of Koune, a Hiroshima specialty, is worth trying at least once. You can also enjoy A5-ranked Hiroshima beef sirloin steak, and other dishes made with ingredients from Hiroshima Prefecture, such as oysters and conger eels. There is also a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, so you can enjoy pairing them with the teppanyaki.
Here, we will introduce the charm of Orizuru Tower, where the Mitchan Souhonten store is located.
The rooftop of Orizuru Tower is an observation space. The wooden deck is surrounded by mesh, allowing you to enjoy the view of Hiroshima , including the Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Park, while feeling the breeze and the sounds of Hiroshima . There is also a takeout cafe, so you can enjoy some okonomiyaki while taking in the view.
At the Orizuru Square, there are popular spots such as the "Orizuru Wall" where you can throw folded origami cranes, and "Kurukurukuuru", a 70m long spiral slide where you can slide down while spinning around. There is also a shop inside the building, so you will have no trouble buying souvenirs.
We will explain how to get to this fascinating Orizuru Tower.
Orizuru Tower is located right next to the Atomic Bomb Dome. From Hiroshima Station, take the Hiroshima(Miya Island or Eba Line) and get off at Genbaku Dome-mae Station, and you'll see it right in front of you. It takes about 20 minutes from Hiroshima Station to Orizuru Tower. You can also get there by car, but there is no parking lot, so please use a paid parking lot in the area.
