Iron and Elegance
Kansai Cuisine with a Parisian Accent

In Canal City Hakata’s Kuohka gourmet street, the Paris-born okonomiyaki restaurant Okomusu opens its debut location in Japan. With its façade paying homage to the streetscapes of Paris and Europe, the design draws on Japanese materials and craftsmanship — at once a reverse import and a homecoming.
The understated noren at the entrance and torii-silhouetted chairs add a note of traditional Japan, while inside, a polished stone counter and tiled wainscoting introduce a cosmopolitan air. The interior is anchored by the counter-only layout, inviting every guest into the intimate theatre of the open kitchen. Outside, standing tables line the arcade, offering a spot for guests to linger over freshly grilled okonomiyaki while watching the world go by.
The whole tableau echoing a corner bistro in Paris, Okomusu is an effortless blend of rawness and refinement — the West and wa in perfect balance.
