Okonomiyaki is a specialty in Hiroshima, and we tried it not once, but two times when we were there. It has a crepe/pancake-like batter at the base, with cabbage, pork, and udon noodles, and is topped with a fried egg and special okonomiyaki sauce.
Have you ever seen anyone more genki for okonomiyaki?
Our special chefs whipped up the delight.
The next day, we went to a place where they have 29 different okonomiyaki stands. (Actually, we couldn't find the place and, in the pouring rain, went up to some 20-something Japanese guy and just asked, "okonomiyaki?" He jumped up, opened his umbrella, and led us three blocks to get to the front door of the place. A great reminder how gestures like that leave a great impression on foreign guests!)
Here's our counter. As you can see, okonomiyaki is serious business.
