As Hiroshimafu-okonomiyaki covers the taste sufficiently only with the sweetness of cabbages, unlike Kansaifu-okonomiyaki they do not mix the dashi broth soup in the dough (fish powder is sometimes strewn on the dough), is rarely strewn with sliced dried bonito and dried bonito shavings because they are not often put on the table.
広島風では、キャベツの甘みだけで十分な旨みをまかなうため、関西風と異なり生地にだし汁を混ぜたり（生地の上には魚粉を散らすこともある）、上に鰹節を振り掛けることは少なく、卓上にも花がつおはあまり置かれない。
