Kitami, Japan
Akatsuki
Akatsuki puts Kitami into Japan’s serious okonomiyaki conversation, not through spectacle but through a regional reading of griddle cooking. Its 2025 selection for Tabelog’s Okonomiyaki 100 gives the room a national signal, while the format stays grounded in okonomiyaki, monjayaki, and teppanyaki rather than a chef-driven tasting-menu script.
