• The History of Okonomiyaki

    Born in the streets of Hiroshima in the early Showa era, okonomiyaki is created by layering cabbage and noodles on a thin batter and grilling it on an iron plate. This technique and flavor have been passed down through generations.

  • Okonomiyaki that satisfies you
    not after the first bite,
    but when you finish the entire piece.

    That is the okonomiyaki our founder, Mitsuo Ibe, pursued.
    Staying true to the original style,
    Micchan Sohonten continues to protect
    the taste of the "original Hiroshima-style"
    okonomiyaki created by our founder.

Our Commitment


OUR HEART

Founded in 1950.
The original Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki
is filled with the commitment of Mitsuo Ibe.

Cabbage
(01)

Cabbage

We adjust how we cut the cabbage depending on the season, daily condition, and even the part of each leaf. The firm core is cut thin while the soft part is cut thick — ensuring a consistent texture throughout every bite.

Batter
(02)

Batter

We adjust how we cut the cabbage depending on the season, daily condition, and even the part of the leaf. The firm core is cut thin while the soft outer part is cut thicker — ensuring a consistent texture in every bite.

Noodles
(03)

Noodles

At Micchan, fresh noodles boiled in a deep pot are grilled crispy on the iron plate. We gather the noodles into a circle without separating them, then fry one side until golden — like deep-frying — to achieve a fragrant, perfectly crunchy texture.

Sauce
(04)

Sauce

The "Micchan Original Okonomiyaki Sauce" was completed half a century after the concept of okonomiyaki sauce was first conceived — a luxurious sauce crafted with the finest ingredients. Please savor Micchan's signature sauce, light in taste and bursting with fruity flavor.

Grilling Method
(05)

Grilling Method

To ensure our okonomiyaki is consistent every day, multiple team members divide responsibilities into three positions: spreading & loading, grilling, and finishing. Even when grilling just one piece, we always work together as a team to deliver the same great taste to every customer.
