Sumptuous Japanese meal!
Otafuku Okonomiyaki, situated next to The Summit Hotel is the first authorised outlet of Otafuku, Hiroshima which serves healthy Japanese food. Though the restaurant was small in size, it really gave us the feeling of being at an authentic Japanese eatery with its serene and very cultural interior decoration. Our guest Shital Moktan was excited to try some of the special Hiroshima style Japanese food. Find out what she thinks of the fare spread before her.
