One lovely evening in September, Rodney and I headed out to meander Kadena Gate 2 Street. This is a popular area for shopping during the day and other stuff the darker it gets. We had no intentions of being there much after dark. But, we did decide to stay long enough for dinner when we discovered LUCKY!!
In true Oki fashion, this little place held a variety of options. To your right when you walk in the door was a bar, straight ahead, where Rodney's sitting, is the food part, and beyond that is a tattoo parlor!! (Which also seemed to double as a 'sleep-it-off' space, currently in action during our visit! The waitress apologized profusely when the guy started talking quite loudly in his sleep.)
The decor was quite eclectic, yet entertaining.
Our friends in Iwakuni had introduced us to this dish during our visit to that area of the mainland, specifically Hiroshima. I since learned different areas have their own version of this noodle dish, kind of like different versions of BBQ in different parts of the US. This wasn't exactly Hiroshima style, but still quite tasty!
The owner seemed honored (and surprised) that we knew okonomiyaki and chose to dine at his establishment and took our picture for us in front of the diner next to the outdoor seating.
