Wad Omu Okonomiyaki
Osaka, Japan
The read// why locals go
Wad Omu cooks okonomiyaki on the griddle in front of you in Tanimachi, a residential pocket of Osaka rather than a visitor one. Okonomiyaki is the city's household food — a cabbage-heavy savoury pancake, cooked on the hotplate, sauced at the end and eaten straight off the metal — and it belongs to neighbourhood restaurants like this one far more than to any famous address. The counter is small, around ¥1,300 covers a meal, and the regulars will happily indicate when to press it and when to leave it alone. Tanimachi 6-chome is full of long-standing local places; this is the one worth building a walk around.
