okonomiyaki

It's been a while since I've eaten okonomiyaki, one of my favorite Japanese foods. "Okonomi" means as you like or to your taste, and "yaki" means to grill. You can cook any ingredients you like with your okonomiyaki, which, if I have to compare it to a food back home, is like a savory pancake.

Tables at okonomiyaki restaurants comes with big iron plate used for cooking. Some restaurants let the customers do the mixing and cooking, while others prepare it for you in the kitchen and bring it out to keep warm on the iron plate.
