About this place
At Sogetsu, part of the pleasure of eating okonomiyaki is choosing how to finish it yourself once the staff have cooked it. One diner describes a pork okonomiyaki topped with spicy sauce, mayonnaise and bonito flakes, with a drizzle of garlic oil from the table. Another review praises the fluffy batter, with a hint of grated yam. The menu ranges from the classic pork version to mixed and deluxe okonomiyaki, with different combinations of fillings.
A diner who ordered squid and prawns together describes a fluffy pancake filled with both, which went well with the sauce. The menu also offers separate prawn and squid versions if you prefer to choose just one filling. For something a little lighter, try the pork negiyaki, a savoury pancake with green onions. One reviewer found that a squeeze of lemon brought out the onions’ sweetness and left a fresh finish; another enjoyed negiyaki with dashi soy sauce and lemon.
Alongside an okonomiyaki, diners have also reported enjoying the chewy noodles and sauce in the yakisoba. The dishes can be shared, and the menu also lists yaki udon. At lunchtime, rice and oolong tea are offered free of charge, making them a useful addition to a substantial meal. Beer and highballs are available too, for those who want a drink with their okonomiyaki in the evening.
