Okonomiyaki: Tsuruhashi Fugetsu, Dotombori Ebisubashi branch

The okonomiyaki served at Tsuruhashi Fugetsu is all about the cabbage.


The cabbage creates a loose texture inside the dish, while the outside is
a crunchy, aromatic golden brown. The chain makes its own sauce that
has kept diners coming back since its founding. The sauce goes
extremely well with the mayonnaise, which is a variety with low tartness.
