Okonomiyaki

 
Okonomiyaki is a popular street food all over Japan. Its name was derived from combining the Japanese word okonomi (preference) and yaki (cooked).

 
I had my first Okonomiyaki while walking around the Shibuya district in Tokyo. I didn’t get to choose which ingredients I liked. I just went in for the ride. As far as I could tell, it came with eggs, cabbage, noodles, and unknown meat. Maybe I was just hungry, but it tasted very good.

Okonomiyaki reminds me of omelette or pancake as it’s cooked in a similar fashion. It’s said that toppings and batters tend to vary according to the region.
