Recommendation of okonomiyaki and teppanyaki restaurant in Fukui City: "Yoshina"

The other day, I went to the okonomiyaki and teppanyaki restaurant "Yoshina", which I have wanted to go.

The "Yoshina" serves unique new type of okonomiyaki such as using small tomatoes grown in Fukui Prefecture and teppanyaki using locally grown ingredients. It is located in front of Fukui Station, so it is convenient for tourists as well.

"Yoshina" is a popular restaurant, so you should call ahead to reserve a table.

I went there on a weekday, but it was full and several persons could not entry and a staff apologized. For the moment, they don't open during lunch time, but according to a staff, the owner wants to operate as a cafe in the daytime, so I am looking forward to it. The "Yoshina" is a restaurant that I want to go again soon. (H.S)

The restaurant's sign outside on the street. There are Fukui's local sake bottles, "Ippongi" and "Bon" on the barrel. Good choice!

 

                      The entrance is like a town house's one in Kyoto.

                      Such a long approach is not seen very much in Fukui.

This is the Tomato Okonomiyaki that represents the restaurant.  (The photo is from "Yoshina"'s website) It uses small tomatoes grown in Fukui. Their original sauce blends well with tomatoes' sour taste. The okonomiyaki is really good. I recommend Avocado Okonomiyaki, too.  They bring cooked ones to your table. 

       

                               

They also serve side dishes in addition to Okonomiyaki and Teppanyaki. This one is
a pork-shabu salad.
