Tokyo Food｜Tokyo Station Ichiban Street Food Recommendations—Hiroshima Oyaki from Hiroshima

#100 Ways to Travel Shop name: Hiroshima yaki 📍Address: Tokyo Station B1F, 1-9-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 🕰️Business hours: 10:00-23:00 (last order at 22:00) 💰Average consumption: ¥1790 💞Recommended reasons: The first stop on the Tokyo Station maze tour is the Tokyo Ichibangai food area on the first floor of the station, a top-level battleground for famous restaurants in Japan. The famous restaurant from Hiroshima - Hiroshima Oyaki, the main restaurant in Hiroshima was selected as a Michelin recommendation in the 2013 "Hiroshima Michelin Guide". There are a lot of people during meal time and almost every store has a queue. You line up in order and buy meal coupons when you get to the ordering machine. After buying the meal coupons, the service staff will ask you whether you want udon or soba noodles, and then take you to your seat in order. There isn't much seating space, and even less storage space. The biggest feature of the Electric Lightning Hiroshima Oyaki is that it is different from other Hiroshima Oyaki. The ingredients are stacked in fluffy layers and wrapped in egg skin, making it look like an omelette with a round and cute appearance. It is also called "3D Hiroshima Oyaki". Each serving of Hiroshima-yaki is freshly made. The waiter piles up a lot of shredded cabbage on the griddle to create a thick layer, and then places the dough on top, allowing steam to form in the middle to slowly steam the shredded cabbage. Next, the noodles are fried on the side, and the basil leaves are cut into small pieces and spread on top of the noodles. Finally, a double amount of eggs are fried and cooked into an omelette-like texture. The okonomiyaki I ordered this time was the "Dream", which was presented in the style of a sunny-side-up egg. From the side, you can see the layers of ingredients stacked on top of each other. The seafood was quite fresh and had the unique aroma of the iron plate. The soba noodles were not too hard like usual, nor as soft as udon noodles, which was the taste I liked. Use a small spatula as a knife and fork to cut into bite-sized pieces. Paired with the sweet Hiroshima yaki sauce, it tastes especially delicious and very filling. I recommend it to everyone. #Lightning #Okonomiyaki #Hiroshimayaki #Tokyo Station #Tokyo Station Ichibangai #100 Ways to Travel #familytravel #Tokyo #Japan #Tokyo Travel
