In order to make the most of the deliciousness of the cabbage, the dough is intentionally kept simple. It is about 20 cm in diameter, so it is very filling! It is also filled with tempura flakes, pork, and fresh egg, which are essential to Hiroshima okonomiyaki, making it a very satisfying piece.
It's delicious even when frozen! What's the secret?
In order to provide a delicious taste that is just as good as the original, even when frozen, we pay particular attention not only to the ingredients we use, but also to the manufacturing process.
Point 1 [Baking]
Frozen foods are often thought of as being made automatically by machines, but the frozen okonomiyaki at "Micchan Souhonten" are carefully hand-cooked by a craftsman. The craftsman carefully checks the ingredients and the finished product with his own eyes before cooking, which is why you can enjoy delicious okonomiyaki with no unevenness.
Point 2 [Cabbage]
At "Micchan Souhonten," the way the cabbage is cut changes depending on the condition of the cabbage that day. Furthermore, by thoroughly steaming the cabbage, the flavor is further enhanced, resulting in a delicious okonomiyaki that makes the most of the ingredients.
Point 3 [Facilities]
We also pay special attention to our freezing equipment to maintain the deliciousness of our okonomiyaki. Our state-of-the-art freezing equipment quickly freezes freshly made okonomiyaki, preserving the flavor and texture of the okonomiyaki and reducing dripping when thawed.

How to eat frozen okonomiyaki deliciously
Finally, we will introduce a delicious way to eat frozen okonomiyaki from "Micchan Sohonten". If you have a microwave, you can cook it easily.
First, remove the okonomiyaki, sauce, and green onion powder from the package. Keep the sauce and green onion powder separate so that they do not heat in the microwave. Next, place the okonomiyaki in the microwave without removing the plastic wrap, and heat at 600W for about 8 minutes. Cooking times vary depending on the product, so check the back of the package before heating.
If the sauce is not thawed, place the packet in hot water in a cup or other container and heat for about 2 minutes to bring out the flavor of the sauce.
