🟢 Great in Tokyo — Experience “New-Generation” Hiroshima Okonomiyaki in Tokyo (Denko-Sekka)
Hiroshima-style means layers—batter, a mountain of cabbage, noodles, pork, and egg—finished into a tall, photo-ready pancake. Denko-Sekka pushes that idea further (double egg, squid cracker, shiso), and you can try it in Tokyo. 📷

Introduction
Denko-Sekka started in Hiroshima and reimagines the classic layered okonomiyaki without losing the core: a crisp base, steamed-sweet cabbage, fried noodles (soba or udon), pork, and a silky egg top. The signature builds aromatic height with squid cracker and shiso, creating a fluffy, stacked profile that stands out. With multiple Tokyo branches, it’s easy to sample this Hiroshima-born “new wave” during a city stay.
What to Try
“Denko-Sekka” (house special) — pork, double egg, soba or udon, squid cracker, shiso, green onions. Start with soba for the most balanced bite; the cracker adds toasty crunch while shiso lifts the aroma. If you’re sharing, order a second variation (extra green onion or cheese) to compare textures. 🍳
How to Order
Order after you’re seated. Choose your noodle (soba or udon) and any add-ons (extra green onion, cheese, spicy options). Hiroshima-style pancakes are cooked to order and can take time—avoid peak hours (around lunch and early evening) if you’re on a tight schedule. When it arrives, cut from the edge and eat hot off the griddle surface for the best contrast of crisp and fluffy.
Tokyo or Trip?

Denko-Sekka reproduces its Hiroshima-born recipe in Tokyo, so visitors can grasp the essentials—layers, noodles, double egg, height—without leaving the capital. If the style clicks with you, plan a future trip to Hiroshima to contrast “new-generation” plates with traditional counters in the city. 🔁
