okonomi-yaki
I found a nice okonomi-yaki restaurant in Setagaya-area, Tokyo. The store's name is "Bochi-bochi". The building is quite unique good old Showa period style. It makes us feel calm and comfortable.
Okonomi-yaki is a dish like pancake but no sweat, vegetables in it. They are grilled on a big iron plate (4th image). Its recipes depend on the region. This restaurant's is Osaka style.
"okonomi" means "favourite" or "as you like", "yaki" means "grilled". As thease words, you can mix anything you want, for example squid and rice cake, leek and beef, prawn and so on. My favourite taste is pork and kimchi which is Korean style pickle. It's crispy and a bit sour. Mmmmmm, yummy!!
It costs about £3.5 for one okonomi-yaki. Also you can choose toppings such as egg, garlic, ginger pickle etc. Lastly, we usually put okonomi-yaki sauce which is like HP, mayonnaise and dried bonito. I love to put a lot of dried bonit as much as I can! Try it!

I'm hoping to move to Japan for a year but I'm so used to Canadian food that I don't know if I can survive, hahaha.
I'm going to have to start eating more squid and rice and less hamburgers and fries. :D
it really look's good. but i have to agree with cmax, less burgers more rice no squid though i don't think i can do squid.
I just visited Japan a month ago and had my first okonomi-yaki in Akihabra... it was delicious! We order the four most popular style, Yokohama, Hiroshima, Tokyo, and Akihabra.. Keep up with this blog site; your entries are fascinating to read.
