Okonomiyaki House IROHA 168

Okonomiyaki House IROHA 168’s basic okonimyaki relies on quality, imported Japanese ingredients – special pancake flour, Japanese mayonnaise (the bottle with the baby on it!), authentic plum sauce, bonito flakes (those wispy, papery flakes that get all excited when piled on top of hot food), a simple seaweed stock and special seasoning blends. Part of the fun when it comes to classic Japanese okonomiyaki is seeing your pancake perfectly formed and flipped right in front of you. Nothing’s changed at Okonomiyaki House IROHA 168’s East Coast Road premises – curious Singapore diners are thrilling to this culinary phenomenon, live and direct.

Okonomiyaki House IROHA 168 has actually been in operation in Singapore for well over 15 years, but has only recently emerged into the light of day – and a far wider audience – with their new venue along East Coast Road. Chef Sekiguchi’s ambition is that okonomiyaki will take over the world in much the same way that sushi did. It’s a fast, fun, and delicious example of Japanese cuisine, very much a street food, and justifiably popular amongst foodies in the know. With a menu boasting great teppanyaki sets and other Japanese delights, but dominated by the might Kansai pancake, there’s no doubt that this Singapore-based Japanese restaurant will be acknowledged as an okonomiyaki pioneer in years to come.
