Opened in 1965, Ajinoya Honten (味乃家 本店) is a family run business that has been passed down through four generations. Ajinoya is known for their cabbage-heavy okonomiyaki that has a soft and fluffy texture. This Osaka okonomiyaki restaurant was even recognized by the Michelin Guide 2016 and 2017, receiving the Bib Gourmand rating, which refers to recommended restaurants that provide high-quality dining for a moderate price.

While this is not a DIY okonomiyaki place, the owner lets Shizuka behind the teppan to try her hand at making okonomiyaki!
