Gosai

When comparing the two styles at Gosai, the first thing to note is how Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki differs from the restaurant’s other okonomiyaki. One diner’s report describes the Hiroshima-style version as a noodle-topped dish with shredded cabbage, beef tendon and konjac. In the same report, the cabbage is said to have a natural sweetness, with pickled ginger adding a lively accent. The other okonomiyaki had finely chopped cabbage and a light, fluffy batter. The diner suggested pairing the latter with rice and the Hiroshima-style dish with beer—one way to choose between them.

For a combination of toppings, there is also the Gosai Mix, with pork, squid and prawns. The menu lists the option to make it modern-yaki style, as well as extra toppings including natto, kimchi, spring onion and cheese. You can keep to a more focused combination or opt for the mix, depending on what you feel like eating. One dining report also mentions having Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki with beer; draft beer comes in medium, small and large sizes. Alongside okonomiyaki, the menu makes this a choice for an evening of drinks and teppan-cooked dishes.
