Bib Gourmand Okonomiyaki Restaurant “Kiji” in Chiyoda-ku originated from Osaka, and is one of the most famous okonomiyaki restaurant. They have 2 branches in Tokyo, and we visited the one near Marunouchi (Tokyo Station). But beware, I had a hard time trying to locate the restaurant. They are actually located at the basement of Tokyo Building, along the food street.
Prices are reasonable, starting from 760¥ for their Corn okonomiyaki (which is a pancake like dish made from a batter of flour, chopped cabbage, chicken stock and grated yam) served with salted butter.
The must orders are the Yakisoba with pork and cabbage 860¥ (Japanese noodle dish in which the soba noodles made from wheat flour are pan-fried with assorted vegetables and meat. The Beef Tendon okonomiyaki 1,200¥ which was the star dish for me – the beef tendons that was used were fatty and complemented with the cabbage and yam.
Will I Return O-Meter : Yes, for the yakisoba & beef tendon okonomiyaki. Recommended to go in a bigger group.
