Popular Restaurant for Hishio's Specialty Kaki-Oka: Plump Oysters Piled High on Fresh Batter
About this spot
Kaki-Oka is a local specialty born in Hishio, known for its oyster landings. It's okonomiyaki with freshly made batter topped generously with plump oysters and cooked on a griddle until fragrant and crispy. Tama-chan is said to be the pioneering establishment that spread this dish's reputation nationwide. Each generous serving features large oysters piled abundantly, and the briny umami and savory sauce meld together in perfect satisfaction. Watching the griddle while waiting at the counter is a pleasure unique to this restaurant. The time spent in line becomes part of your travel memories—this is where you'll find the heart of Hishio's gourmet scene and savor the port town's lunch to the fullest.
Tips
A popular restaurant where lines form before opening. Aim for right after opening, or visit after 1 p.m. when the crowds have eased. Seats by the griddle can get quite hot, so wear something you don't mind getting a smell on. It's wise to have cash ready for payment.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes required, including waiting time. Enjoy the wonderful aroma of the griddle as it cooks.
