01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Demekin-yaki, the restaurant’s namesake okonomiyaki, is filled with seafood, pork and yam. Diners have described it as light and fluffy, with a generous filling that makes it satisfying to eat. The menu also offers classics such as pork-topped okonomiyaki and beef tendon-topped okonomiyaki, so choosing between a straightforward favourite and the house namesake is part of the fun.

Pork kimchi stir-fry is billed on the menu as a dish “bursting with savoury aroma and spice”. The same pairing appears in pork kimchi okonomiyaki, while pork kimchi yakisoba brings kimchi together with chewy, thick noodles. For a first bite, try the kimchi assortment, described as arriving directly from Tsuruhashi in Osaka. Sample the different flavours of daikon, cucumber and Chinese cabbage as you decide what to order next.

Alongside okonomiyaki, diners have mentioned enjoying monjayaki and tonpei-yaki, giving groups more griddle dishes to share. Beer and other alcoholic drinks are available, and Dewar’s can be served as a highball, with water, or mixed with ginger ale. Demekin in Nakano offers both dine-in and takeaway. It is closed on Thursdays and open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 17:00 to 23:00.
