A new okonomiyaki and teppanyaki restaurant, "Nonji Tenma" (のんじ 天満店), opened on Monday, November 9, 2026, on Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street (天神橋筋商店街) in the Tenma area of Osaka. "Nonji" (のんじ) is a new brand from Tenma, Osaka, born from a long-established okonomiyaki restaurant with more than 40 years of history.
The restaurant keeps Osaka's okonomiyaki culture at its core while offering a freer, more casual teppanyaki style.
A New Brand Built on a Long-Established Restaurant's Flavors
Mix-yaki (ミックス焼き) with pork, squid and shrimp: ¥1,628
Nonji comes from a restaurant with a history of more than 40 years, yet it is designed as a new style of restaurant that today's diners can enjoy easily. The menu is broad, covering okonomiyaki, yakisoba, teppanyaki dishes, seafood and side dishes.
The restaurant aims to suit many everyday occasions, such as a drink after work, a meal with friends, or lunch or dinner during a sightseeing trip. Its concept is "teppanyaki to enjoy more freely and casually" (もっと自由に、もっと気軽に楽しめる鉄板焼き), with a space where diners can relax without formality. While valuing the strengths of traditional okonomiyaki, the restaurant aims to suit a range of moods:
- "Just a quick drink today"
- "A leisurely meal with friends"
- "A taste of Osaka-style flour-based dishes"
The restaurant is a five-minute walk from Tenma Station, in the lively Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street. It aims to be a place where both local customers and visitors to Osaka can easily stop by.
Teppanyaki Dishes to Enjoy with Drinks
In addition to okonomiyaki and yakisoba, Nonji serves teppanyaki dishes, seafood dishes and side dishes. The savory aroma of food grilled on the iron griddle and the live feel of cooking in front of diners are part of the appeal, from casual meals to an after-work drink.
Featured Dishes
Along with okonomiyaki and yakisoba that carry on the flavors of the long-established restaurant, the menu includes many side dishes grilled on the griddle. Highlights include "Whole Kujo Green Onion Ika-Suji-Kon Negi-yaki" (九条ネギ丸ごとイカスジコンネギ焼き), made with whole Kujo green onions, the popular classic "Mix-yaki" with pork, squid and shrimp, and "Gooey Cheese Dashimaki Tamago" (とろ〜りチーズだし巻き玉子), a rolled omelet that pairs well with drinks.

The menu also includes "Nonji's Hearty Seafood Teppan Platter" (のんじの豪快 海鮮鉄板盛り), which serves abalone, surume squid, scallops and shrimp on one plate. Other dishes include the signature "Kujo Green Onion Aburakasu Yakisoba" (名物！九条ネギ油カス焼きそば), which uses the flavor of Kujo green onions and aburakasu (油カス), and the appetizing signature "Pork Kimchi" (名物！豚キムチ).
