Botejyu was founded in 1946 in the gourmet city of Tamade, Osaka. Since then, our restaurant name has been protected as a registered trademark for over 60 years.
The name "Botejyu" is derived from the rhythmic cooking sound of okonomiyaki. The first part of the name, "bote", comes from the flipping sound in Japanese of an okonomiyaki being turned over with a metal spatula. The second part of the name, "jyu", represents the sound of the okonomiyaki sizzling on the teppan grill. We, at Botejyu, still value this "delicioud sound" as we continue to prepare each and every okonomiyaki with care and passion.
