Harapeco in Friedrichshain

Another great sucucho appears.

This is a truly unexpected encounter of Japanese cuisine. Their star dish is the Okonomiyaki, a Japanese-style pancake stuffed with whatever you wish: vegetables, prawns, octopus, pork, you name it. I had never eaten this kind of food before, and I was well-surprised. The size is more than abundant; you can easily share the plate, however if you are a savory eater and have a big appetite, this option will be quickly thrown out the board. As soon as you taste the Okonomiyaki, the intense and varied flavors overflow and you quickly come to realize you're in for a treat of something authentic. One more thing: the prices are well down in the low.

No more than 5 tables fill the inside of Harapeco, while some tables are enabled outside (weather permitting), thus the ambience is cozy and contained. In my experiences I encounter some good service experiences, and others that perhaps were not up to par, but nothing causing a point of no return.

And return I will.
