Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki is a savory Japanese pancake with a wide range of ingredients. The name comes from the Japanese words okonomi, which means "how you like," "what you like," or "favorite," and yaki, which means "grill."
The dish varies depending on where it is prepared in Japan, but it can be found almost anywhere. The Osaka-style okonomiyaki, also known as the Kansai-style, is perhaps the most popular. Osaka is known for its cheap and plentiful food culture. The Hiroshima-style, which is layered, is the other most well-known version.

Okonomiyaki is a fun, interactive way to eat that is ideal for large groups. Basically, okonomiyaki is a batter that is mixed with all of your favorite ingredients and then fried like a pancake right in front of your eyes on the grill. Okonomiyaki means 'grill your favorite,' and there is a wide range of ingredients to choose from, including seafood, beef, chicken, and bacon, as well as tofu, cheese, corn, onion, and other vegetables.

The okonomiyaki is topped with a rich brown sauce, mayonnaise, and dried bonito flakes after the batter has cooked. Each member of the group usually orders their own okonomiyaki, and many restaurants allow you to cook your own, which is a fun addition to the meal.
