With Botejyu opening it’s doors in the Philippines, I was excited that there is another food player that will bring the Japanese food game up a notch. There will be new Japanese food offers and experiences that will make me reminisce my stay in Japan, and Botejyu totally brought that to the table.

Just a little tidbit of information and history: Botejyu was born in the gourmet city of Tamade, Osaka in 1946 as an Okonomiyaki restaurant. BOTEJYU®, was coined from the rhythmic cooking sound of okonomiyaki. The first part of the name, “BOTE” comes from the flipping sound of the okonomiyaki and the second part of the name, “JYU”, represents the sizzling sound as it cooks on the teppan grill.

They launched in the Philippines last 2016 with its SM Mall of Asia and SM Megamall branches, and now they are opening their branch in the North of Manila, at the Ayala Malls Vertis North.

Beyond the legendary Okonomiyaki and Okasoba dishes that have been synonymous to the Botejyu brand in Japan, other unique Botejyu signature dishes have been enticing the foodies of Metro Manila to keep coming back for more. And now, let me entice you too and parade an array of Japanese foodie goodness so as to let know what you’ll be missing if you don’t come and visit Botejyu!
