| - I went here twice during this past winter. It took me two times to figure out my feelings on this place. I studied in Japan for a year. While I was there, I prized myself as a bit of a foodie. One of my favorites was okonomiyaki, in particular Hiroshimayaki.
Between the two times I went to Teppanyaki Kyoto, I got the Hiroshimayaki and a mixture of their appetizers: takoyaki, crochets, those rice cakes with bacon and gyoza. The appetizers were fine, but the crochets were frozen and not made from scratch. It seems a bit funny to be paying do much for frozen food ...
Hiroshimayaki is a Hiroshima's take on okonomiyaki. Rather than mixing the ingredients during preparation, the ingredients are layered with soba or udon noodles and then steamed instead of fried. Ideally, Hiroshimayaki is much lighter in taste than its Osaka cousin. Here the Hiroshimayaki was so heavy it made my stomach ache, and the pork was a little too gristly for my tastes.
Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, I just don't think I will go again.
