Some recommend that Hiroshimafu-okonomiyaki should be eaten from an 'iron plate' because it is hot and delicious and has a unique stratified structure and the customers can enjoy it at one bite, and others say that eating it with spatulas smells like iron, which means there are good or bad points.
熱々が美味しく、また、広島風お好み焼の独特な成層構造を一口で味わうためにも「鉄板」で食べることを勧める者もいるが、しかしヘラで食べると金気臭さがあるので良し悪しであろう。
