About Hinase Kaki-Oko (Oyster Okonomiyaki)

Hinase Kaki-Oko (日生カキオコ) is a local specialty of Okayama Prefecture: an okonomiyaki, or savory pancake, filled with fresh oysters.

The Hinase area in Bizen City, Okayama, is renowned for its oyster harvests. This dish is said to have originated from fishermen's wives, who started adding small or imperfect oysters into okonomiyaki for a hearty meal.

With a soft and fluffy batter, a generous mound of shredded cabbage, and a plentiful amount of fresh oysters, Kaki-Oko is cooked to perfection on a sizzling hot iron plate. Made with freshly-caught oysters from Hinase, it avoids excess water content, ensuring the oysters remain plump and juicy even after cooking. A must-try for oyster lovers!
