About this place
Issaku-yaki, named after the restaurant, wraps yakisoba in okonomiyaki. Diners have described the batter as pleasantly chewy, the noodles inside as springy and the sauce as sweet but not too salty. It’s a signature dish to consider if you’d like something a little different from classic okonomiyaki.
Another noodle-based menu item is the omelette known as omuretto. One diner reported that it contains udon and has a sweetish flavour. Comparing it with the saucy Issaku-yaki offers a different way to enjoy the same broad style of Japanese comfort food.
There are options for those stopping by after a meal or coming specifically for shaved ice. The year-round menu includes Uji milk and red bean shaved ice, as well as kuromitsu (black sugar syrup) and red bean. One diner particularly enjoyed the Uji milk and red bean version, praising its fluffy ice, moist red bean paste and milk. The menu also features shaved ice with plum-wine syrup and fruit, while seasonal dishes include okonomiyaki topped with Kamo eggplant. Whether you’re after a filling meal of flour-based dishes or something sweet, there’s more than one way to order here.
The restaurant is open on Saturdays, with service at lunchtime and in the evening.
