Conclusion
The shop owner’s wife was very friendly and helpful when I tried to cook Okonomiyaki by myself. Also, she expressed she was willing to welcome foreign tourists. Because she can customize ingredients just for you depending on your preference, let her know if there are ingredients you can’t eat or dislike.
Actually, although I am not a native Osaka person, now I love it since living. I have ever visited there many times. Usually, I chose butatama but I tried negiyaki for the first time when the interview. As a result, my opinion is changed, that I think this is one of the best okonomiyaki in my life because I feel great harmony of Negi and original soy sauce when eating. That’s why my recommendation is Negiyaki.
