BOTEJYU was established in 1946 in the gourmet city of Tamade, Osaka by Eikichi Nishino. 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.
