Okonomiyaki is one of the most popular Japanese food worldwide, and it’s a must-try dish while travelling Japan. It’s Japanese savory pancake made with special batter mixed with cabbage, some condiments and a variety of toppings such as pork, beef, seafood and cheese, and topped with sauce, mayonnaise and bonito flakes. Although Okonomiyaki is a common dish all over Japan, it’s particularly famous as a local signature in 2 cities in Western Japan: Osaka and Hiroshima.
These two types of Okonomiyaki are not quite the same as dishes are prepared in different method and also cooked with different ingredients. With Osaka style, all the ingredients are mixed together before cooking, and in a restaurant, usually customers make their own dishes on the table with an iron griddle. Meanwhile, for Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki, ingredients are cooked separately and put in layers in the end. Also the key ingredients for Hiroshima Okonomiyaki is Yakisoba noodles which is not used for Osaka style. It requires more technique to make it so usually restaurants prepare the dish for customers.
