Okonomiyaki

Very popular especially in Osaka and Hiroshima, okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake that contains many ingredients. Toppings and batter tend to vary depending on the region. The Osaka-style version (the most popular version) of the dish is typically prepared with flour, eggs, yam, meat, seafood, vegetables and cheese, cooked like a pancake. The ingredients can be mixed together or layered on top of each other. Okonomiyaki is often referred to as ‘Japanese pizza’ or ‘Osaka soul food’. Get it from one of the stalls in Okonomi-mura (Okonomi Village).
