Zouya

Zouya’s pork okonomiyaki stands out for the contrast between its crisp edges and soft, fluffy centre. Some visitors have noted that the pork reaches right to the edge of the batter, where its roasted aroma and sweet rendered fat complement the pancake.

Sauce is served at the table, so you can choose from three kinds: sweet, spicy or thick and rich. The okonomiyaki comes with mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup; adding your preferred sauce, then finishing it with aonori seaweed and bonito flakes, is part of the fun. You could start with the sweet sauce to enjoy the pairing of batter and pork, then try the spicy or thick sauce next.

For another dish, consider the mixed yakisoba, made with squid, pork and prawns. Some diners have ordered it for its generous helping of ingredients; sharing it with okonomiyaki between two people lets you try two different flour-based dishes. You can also choose yakisoba with squid, pork or prawns, listed on the menu at 970 yen, 1,040 yen and 1,040 yen respectively. The okonomiyaki menu also includes squid, prawns, kimuton and a mixed version, so you can choose a pancake by its combination of toppings.

Drinks include draft and bottled beer, highballs, and lemon or lime chūhai. They make a natural accompaniment to okonomiyaki or yakisoba for dinner. Zouya is described as an okonomiyaki restaurant suited to an evening meal, with options for both solo diners and groups.
