Hiroshima Marukajiri Nakachan (ひろしま丸かじり 中ちゃん)

Hiroshima Marukajiri Nakachan is an okonomiyaki, izakaya, and teppanyaki restaurant near Ginzan-cho Station, named for its original owner’s nickname. It is credited as the birthplace of uni-cress — sea urchin and watercress stir-fried on the teppan with soy sauce and butter, served over toasted baguette — alongside its classic soba-noodle Hiroshima okonomiyaki. It has been selected for the Tabelog Hyakumeiten (Okonomiyaki) list multiple times, including 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2019.

It is open daily from 17:00 until the day’s ingredients sell out (dinner service only, no lunch), and closed on Sundays.
