今日は道とん堀へ広島風お好み焼きを食べに行きました。まず注文したのは、広島風お好み焼きミックス（1,510円・税込）と生中（600円・税込）。今回は自分で鉄板の上で焼いてみることに挑戦。キャベツの香りが立ち上る中、慣れない手つきでなんとか形にしました。少し不格好ではありましたが、ソースとマヨネーズをつけて食べると、シャキシャキしたキャベツの食感が心地よく、満足感のある一枚になりました。ビールとの相性も抜群で、気づけばもう一枚食べたくなっていました。
そこで追加でモダン焼（930円・税込）と生中をもう一杯注文。今度は店員さんに鉄板で焼いてもらうことに。プロの手際の良さを眺めながら、焼き上がりを待つ時間もまた楽しいものです。鉄板の上で仕上がっていく様子を見ているだけで食欲が刺激され、焼きたてをゆっくり味わいました。
店内には高齢のご夫婦や子連れのお母さんもいて、家族連れにも愛されているお店だと感じました。
食後はお口直しにドトールコーヒーへ移動し、ブレンドS（280円・税込）を注文。右隣では学生さんらしき青年がヘッドホンをつけて勉強しており、前方にも勉強中の青年がいました。読書をしている男性や女性もいて、それぞれが自分の時間を楽しんでいる姿が印象的でした。店内にはフリーWi-Fiもあり、勉強や作業にも便利そうです。
広島風お好み焼きで満たされ、コーヒーでゆったりと締めくくることができた、心地よい一日でした。
以上です。
A Day Enjoying Hiroshima-Style Okonomiyaki at Dotonbori and Relaxing at Doutor (2025/12/29)
Today, I went to Dotonbori to enjoy some Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. I first ordered the Hiroshima-Style Okonomiyaki Mix (1,510 yen, tax included) and a draft beer (600 yen, tax included). This time, I decided to try cooking it myself on the teppan. As the aroma of cabbage rose from the grill, I managed to shape it with my inexperienced hands. It turned out a bit uneven, but once I added the sauce and mayonnaise, the crisp texture of the cabbage was delightful, and it became a very satisfying dish. The pairing with beer was perfect, and before I knew it, I found myself wanting another one.
So I ordered a Modern-Yaki (930 yen, tax included) and another beer. This time, I asked the staff to cook it on the teppan for me. Watching the professional skills up close made the waiting time enjoyable. Just seeing it come together on the grill stimulated my appetite, and I savored it slowly while it was still hot.
Inside the restaurant, there were elderly couples and mothers with children, giving me the impression that it’s a place loved by families as well.
After the meal, I headed to Doutor Coffee for a refreshing break and ordered a Blend S (280 yen, tax included). A young man who seemed to be a student was studying with headphones on to my right, and another student was studying in front of me. There were also men and women reading books, each enjoying their own quiet time, which left a pleasant impression. The café also had free Wi-Fi, making it convenient for studying or working.
Filled with delicious Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and ending the day with a relaxing cup of coffee, it turned out to be a wonderfully pleasant day.
That’s all.
