Mizuno Dotonbori Honten: Legendary Yamaimo Okonomiyaki Since 1945
Mizuno has operated on Dotonbori since 1945 and is now run by a third-generation owner, best known for mixing grated mountain yam (yamaimo) into its batter for an unusually light, fluffy texture. It is one of the most frequently recommended okonomiyaki restaurants in Osaka in Japanese food media.
The restaurant serves sit-down teppan-grilled okonomiyaki cooked at the table or by staff, alongside modan-yaki (okonomiyaki with fried noodles). Given its popularity, queues are common at peak meal times.
