Donguri is an okonomiyaki chain restaurant famous in Kyoto. The price is reasonable, costing only about 2500yen when you eat full and drink. The food taste good too. They will cook the okonomiyaki for you so beginners in okonomiyaki can enjoy as well. There are many kinds of okonomiyaki too.

The meal that needs to be cooked takes some time so I ordered three tastes pickled cucumber first. The left is salt, far back is spicy, and the right is mayonnaise. I recommend the salt.

Tonpeiyaki (pork grill with egg). A delicious meal with pork, green onion, egg, and sauce. The soft egg and juicy pork is good.

Betayaki. A simple meal pancake with egg, meat and green onion. Pork and fish are being sandwiched with egg pancake. It is not as heavy as okonomiyaki and you can taste the ingredients.

The outside is crunchy and soft and the inside is juicy.

Okonomiyaki. This time I ordered the simplest one, one with only pork. There are okonomiyaki with mochi, cheese and seasoned cod roe but I think the simple ones are the best. They will cook it for you so the outside becomes crunchy and soft in the inside.

After cutting it into pieces, put on sauce, green laver, and mayonnaise.

Hiroshima style okonomiyaki. The flour in the middle becomes noodle and egg sandwiches them. It is similar to betayaki but the noodle and this amount can be served with this pancake. The texture is very different from the regular okonomiyaki.

The outer noodles become crunchy. The different texture between the inside and the outsides is what makes Hiroshima style okonomiyaki tasty.

Put on sauce, green laver and mayonnaise.
