Ei-chan is a Kansai region style okonomiyaki store in Kokubuncho. The owner of the store
came from Osaka to Sendai 45 years ago and for 39 years has been running an okonomiyaki
store. The store used to be located at Ichibancho but it moved this year when it opened
at Kokubuncho on the 25th of April.
When Ei-chan opened 39years ago there weren't many other okonomiyaki stores in Sendai, and
nowadays the stores from that time have usually gone out of business and so Ei-chan is probably
the most traditional okonomiyaki store in Sendai.
Message from the store：
Sendai's good point
・The environment is good (close to the mountains and the sea) and the rice and the water are good.
To the Foreigners
・Come with everyone to Sendai's best estabilished okonomiyaki store, Ei-chan.
Elevated tatami floor. Here there's also the hole for the legs!(^_^)
There's also normal tables. All the tables have a hot plate so you can cook your own okonomiyaki.
Seats by the counter and the restaurant atmosphere. If you seat by the counter you can have an interesting conversation with the manager.
Gyusuji okonomiyaki. It has a lot of meat and is very tasty.
The manager frying the okonomiyaki. Experience accumulated from long years of practice.
Looks good doesn't it? Made me want to eat it one more time. =P~
Kansai no
Okonomiyaki ha
Ei-chan da
Ei-chan is located on the second crossing after turning left on the first street passing the "akedo"
from the Mitsukoshi building. It's easy to go by bike and there is a big signboard on the second
floor so it's pretty easy to find.
Ei-chan's owner is from Osaka so you can eat the real Kansai region style okonomiyaki and taste flavors
you won't find in other okonomiyaki stores in Sendai. For example, for this report I ate the Gyusuji-negi Yaki
(okonomiyaki with cow muscle and leek). It's an okonomiyaki with soft (even being muscle) and delicious meat in
it. Another difference, as the name says, is that instead of cabbage this okonomiyaki has leek in it, and also
instead of the normal souce, shoyu is used for added flavor.
Ei-chan is a place where you can eat delicious Kansai region style okonomiyaki and talk with interesting staff
(if you speak japanese). A good place to go with your friends in the evening.
