Oh my goodness! It's Okonomiyaki!

We are now in the city of Hiroshima, known all over the world as the first city to have the US Army Air Forces drop an Atomic Bomb on it in 1945.

On a happier note, Hiroshima also known for its version of "Okonomiyaki", japanese pancake. I have decided that I like this version the most! The chefs here use 3-4 more cabbage than the versions in Osaka... so it can be considered healthier to. It is amazing to watch the chefs work, the process looks easy, but I am sure it is far from.

In Osaka the chefs mix all the ingredients together, whereas in Hiroshima they layer them....So it starts off quite high, then gets smaller as it cooks.

We asked the receptionist where the best place was, she suggested a local Okonomiyaki place just around the corner.... this is sad, but we loved it sooo much! We went back again the next day for more. Although we went halves this time and had gyoza aswell...




Okay so it doesn't look as good as it tastes... But trust me it was amazing.... we were sooo sooo full afterwards!
