Hare

At Hare, okonomiyaki is only part of the appeal: the menu also includes small dishes and teppanyaki. There is room to build a meal around a classic favourite or to spend the evening sampling a few plates.

Mochi-and-cheese okonomiyaki is singled out by name in individual reviews. One diner found it satisfyingly rich in the familiar style of okonomiyaki, yet light to eat. It may appeal if you are after a pancake filled with cheese and mochi. Some diners also praise the thick, chewy noodles in the yakisoba. Others have found the noodles overcooked and the sauce too strong, so impressions vary. If the noodle texture sounds appealing, it is one option to consider alongside okonomiyaki or another dish.

Adding teppanyaki or small plates means the meal need not revolve around okonomiyaki alone. One diner particularly enjoyed the chicken tataki; it could be ordered with yakisoba or as a first dish, depending on the group and the occasion. Another diner named the oyakodon as a recommended dish.

Beer, wine, cocktails and other alcoholic drinks are available, making it easy to pair a drink with a few plates. One visitor reported that the restaurant has counter and table seating, offering options for a solo drink or a meal with a group. Hare is in Yuzato, Higashisumiyoshi Ward, and is closed on Tuesdays. It is open from 17:00 until 0:00 the following day on Mondays and Wednesdays through Sundays. For an evening meal, you can combine okonomiyaki with a selection of small dishes.
