Tagawa

Diners have praised the crisp texture of the thin soba noodles in Tagawa’s modern-yaki. The dish is cooked slowly, and some have reported a wait, so it is better suited to a leisurely meal than a quick stop. The buta-tama, another style of okonomiyaki, has been described as “fluffy”. Choose the modern-yaki for the noodles’ crisp bite, or the buta-tama for a softer texture.

There have also been reports of Hiroshima-style modern-yaki, and some diners mention the spicy yakisoba. Okonomiyaki takes centre stage, while a reported range of snacks to enjoy with drinks makes dinner with beer or other alcohol another option. The restaurant is listed as open for both lunch and dinner, and suitable for solo dining. It can work for a leisurely okonomiyaki lunch or an evening spent over drinks and small dishes.
