Osaka Kitchen Honten

You should bring a big appetite to this central-Tokyo teppanyaki restaurant — you’re going to need it. They serve up griddle-pan cooked dishes, specializing in Osaka-style okonomiyaki with space delivered straight from the city itself. If that doesn’t sound like your thing, you’ll certainly find something to suit you among their range of teppanyaki grilled seafood, meat, and vegetable dishes. Despite being right by Higashi-Ginza Station in the CBD, Osaka Kitchen Honten has extremely reasonable prices. They also boast an extremely stylish interior more akin to a sophisticated whisky lounge rather than a teppanyaki grill restaurant. Pull up a chain at one of their counter seats to watch all of the grilling action up close, or opt for a standard table seat or private room. If you’re curious about the soul food of Osaka, this is a perfect place to try the best that the city has to offer.
