Located at the Hankai Electric Railway's "Abikomichi Station" is the "Anryu Hondori Shopping Street," known as the "town associated with Issun-boshi." In one corner of the arcade is the old-fashioned, nostalgic-tasting "Okonomiyaki Eichan."

Okonomiyaki Eichan is a popular restaurant in the Shopping Street run by a family of three.
The menu only has two types of Okonomiyaki: Buta-tama(Pork) and Ika-tama(squid). It is popular among local regulars for being "cheap and delicious," and there are often long queues in front of the store.

Okonomiyaki is made by thoroughly mixing eggs, tempura flakes, pickled ginger, and cabbage into a batter flavored with bonito stock, giving it a light and fluffy texture. It is topped with sauce, mayonnaise, and dried bonito flakes, making it easy for anyone to eat.

The okonomiyaki are cooked one after another on a large hot plate, and the fragrant sauce and the sound of them sizzling bring back delicious memories. It's a blissful moment to eat the freshly cooked okonomiyaki at the counter or table seats inside the restaurant. Enjoy the nostalgic taste with the nostalgic "hiyashi ame" candy.

"Some customers have been coming here for three generations. It's our greatest joy to have customers come to our shop. We have to keep working hard," says the owner, Eizaburo. Some people visit not only to enjoy the food cooked by the owner, but also to chat with Sukuko, who has a bright smile.

Recently, they have been seeing tourists and customers from overseas who have seen a YouTube video introducing the restaurant. If you are visiting Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine, please come to "Okonomiyaki Eichan" to experience the warmth of the people and the hospitality that comes from their smiles.
