Mitchan Flagship Store Hatchobori (みっちゃん総本店八丁堀)

Mitchan Sohonten Hatchobori is an okonomiyaki restaurant founded by Ise Mitsuo. Mitsuo was the founding father of the original okonomiyaki, the soul food of Hiroshima. Mitsuo established both the original look of today’s okonomiyaki as well as the styles of how it should be eaten. Methods include eating it with a spatula, and the option of pouring sauce on top of the okonomiyaki. The now-famous restaurant has a chain of stores all over the country. The Hatchobori main store is one of the most popular among the many Mitchan stores. In addition to okonomiyaki, it offers a wide variety of dishes that go well with beer and shochu.
