Hidden within the Japanese Food Street Eat at 7 just opposite Una Una, Tsuruhashi Fugetsu is indeed the place to go for a taste of Authentic Okonomiyaki since we still can’t travel to Osaka for the real deal yet. Self-proclaimed as Osaka’s number one Okonomiyaki restaurant, we had pretty high expectations for them.

We chose the grilled pork tama Okonomiyaki since we were also getting the yakisoba, hence skipping the modanyaki. With the generous heap of fresh shredded cabbage that retained crunchiness, the Okonomiyaki here was also rather crispy on the outer flour batter with the drizzle of a sweet-savoury sauce and bonito flakes. Although the pork slices weren’t too many and it got slightly jelak (as do many other Okonomiyakis), I was really delighted with the limited special mentai Mayo which elevated the Japanese pancake in terms of creaminess and umaminess. I would really recommend the add-on.
