Okonomiyaki introduction

Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き, Okonomiyaki) is a savory Japanese pancake made with a batter of wheat flour mixed with water, cooked on a hot iron griddle. It includes a variety of ingredients like vegetables, meat, and seafood, depending on your preference. The dish is then topped with a rich, tangy sauce, creamy mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of dried seaweed flakes for added flavor. Okonomiyaki shares its fame with Takoyaki as one of Osaka’s signature dishes. The city boasts over 3,000 Okonomiyaki restaurants, the highest number in Japan. Even the small neighborhood street stalls and casual eateries in Osaka may surprise you with unforgettable flavors you won’t find anywhere else.
