Since our attempt to find dinner last night ended up at a convenience store, tonight we set out with a plan. The map from our hotel (which we got on our way in after dinner yesterday) listed an okonomiyaki restaurant, which is one of my favorite Japanese foods, even though it's mostly only found in the area around Hiroshima.
Tonight we set out to find this restaurant. I followed the map, leading us to the exact location, without a single wrong turn. Except the restaurant wasn't there. We circled the block, in case the map wasn't clear.
Somewhere nearby we saw a shop with 5-6 different motorcycles in the window. We became distracted by the pretty shinys inside and were drooling on the window when a man came by and asked us if we rode. Answering him reached the extent of our limited ability to communicate when my stomach growled and I suddenly remembered the real reason for our excursion.
I asked if he knew where the restaurant was and he replied that it was closed. Where to go now? We were determined to eat in a real restaurant tonight.
After wandering around and checking out a few menus that were either 100% in Japanese with no pictures, or only had photos of fish, which I don't like, we stumbled on a second floor concept restaurant that looked interesting and decided to give it a shot. It was well worth it.

Lokum!! Love it!
