Found near Sanjusangendo, Kyoto! Senza-an Ito, where you can find Chobo-yaki, a snack from the early Showa period that is well known by those in the know.

A three-minute walk south from Keihan Shichijo Station. The "Zenza-an" lantern marks this okonomiyaki restaurant.

The 12 hollows are filled with chikuwa, konnyaku, takuan (pickled radish), and other ingredients, and the dashi broth is poured over the dough. The specialty is choboyaki, which is fun to eat while scooping with a spoon, and has a rich downtown atmosphere.

Choboyaki is said to be the original form of takoyaki, and some groups eat 70 to 80 pieces at one table! Choboyaki 5-piece set, 750 yen

The at-home restaurant, run by the beautiful Takeda family, is always bustling with long-time regulars. Mayumi, the wife, had helped her mother run an udon shop, and even today, noodles such as Chinese soba noodles and nabeyaki udon are on the back menu.

The udon you slurp at the end of your powdered food will give you the energy to face tomorrow.

It contains all ingredients such as suji, squid, hoso, oil cake, etc. and both soba and udon noodles! Share the Zenza-an Special 3,000 yen with two or more people. Enjoy changing the flavor with Doro Sauce!

Crispy mino-ten (5 pieces) with fine bread crumbs batter, 600 yen. Deep fried in canola oil and dived into sweet sauce.
