Akiba ICHI

Akiba ICHI sits inside the Akihabara UDX building and serves Japanese cuisine centered on okonomiyaki that diners prepare themselves on built-in table grills. Each table is equipped with a heating element where customers cook their selected ingredients to their liking.

The site once housed the Kanda branch of Tokyo Central Wholesale Market, a trading center for local merchants. Its transformation into a dining space reflects how the Akihabara area has evolved from a market district into a modern entertainment neighborhood.

The establishment blends traditional Japanese cooking methods with the social experience of communal table-top preparation. Diners participate in the time-honored practice of making okonomiyaki, turning a meal into an interactive cultural moment.

The location is just a two-minute walk from JR Akihabara Station, making it convenient to reach. The table-grill format means seating is limited and groups work better than large parties walking in without notice.

Staff members guide customers through the cooking process, helping each person prepare their dish exactly as they prefer. This hands-on assistance is rarely mentioned but makes a real difference in how enjoyable the meal becomes.
