This approachable and friendly okonomiyaki (savoury pancake) restaurant on Sanjō, close to Nanzen-ji and other popular Northern Higashiyama sights, is a good place to stop for lunch while exploring the area or for dinner after a long day of sightseeing. In addition to the usual okonomiyaki favourites, you'll find dishes such as gyōza (dumplings) and yaki-soba (soba noodle stir-fry).
