Dining
Okonomiyaki, Local Favorite
MK Guide Recommends
Located in the retro-style basement food alley of the Umeda Sky Building, Okonomiyaki Kiji has earned a loyal following for its down-to-earth atmosphere and expertly grilled savory pancakes. Opened in 1954, the shop maintains a Showa-era warmth, with counter seats surrounding a hot iron grill. The signature okonomiyaki is made from scratch—cabbage-heavy, lightly crispy on the outside, and brushed with housemade sauce. Kiji is popular with both locals and travelers, often attracting a wait. Despite its popularity, the shop stays humble and cash-only, staying true to its roots.
