WHERE TO EAT The best Osaka-Style Okonomiyaki in the world (according to food experts)

"Kiji is a cosy, low-key place to try okonomiyaki, known as the Japanese pancake or omelette and considered to be Osaka’s soul food. Diners make their own okonomiyaki on a hotplate in the middle of the table, often throwing in yakisoba noodles. Prices are very reasonable."

"This is a dish that you have to try for yourself to understand its strange yet fantastic appeal. The modern-yaki at Kiji will fall apart into noodles if eaten with chopsticks, so it is eaten with a small spatula that allows you to better enjoy the flavors. A dish definitely worth trying."
