Hiroshima: Okonomiyaki Hopping Tour – Compare 2 Local Styles

About this activity

This tour offers a unique way to experience Hiroshima’s iconic okonomiyaki by focusing on comparison rather than just eating. Instead of visiting a single restaurant, you will explore two different shops in one location, allowing you to taste and understand differences in cooking style, ingredients, and flavor.

What makes this experience special is its setting. By staying within Okonomimura or Ekimae Hiroba, the tour removes unnecessary travel and maximizes time for tasting and comparison. These locations bring together multiple chefs under one roof, each with their own technique and style.

With a local guide, you will also learn about the history of okonomiyaki, from its postwar origins to its role as Hiroshima’s soul food. Rather than simply eating, this tour helps you understand the culture behind the dish.
