Okonomiyaki Kiji: Umeda Alley Institution in Shin-Umeda Shokudogai
Kiji is a long-established okonomiyaki restaurant inside Shin-Umeda Shokudogai, a retro dining alley tucked beneath the elevated tracks near Umeda Station. Its batter is made with a bonito-and-kelp dashi that produces a softer texture than many okonomiyaki shops, and every dish is finished with a shiso leaf grilled on top.
The atmosphere is small and old-school, with a mix of counter and table seating typical of the alley's narrow shopfronts. It is closed on Sundays, which is worth checking before planning a visit.
