One of the staple foods of Hiroshima cuisine is okonomiyaki. Different from okonomiyaki served in the rest of Japan, Hiroshima style okonomiyaki is cooked by layering fried noodles, cabbage, fried eggs, pork or other meats, oyster sauce, green onions, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes on top of a thin pancake. There are over 2000 okonomiyaki restaurants in Hiroshima City alone, with some restaurants cooking their own special variations. “Okonomi” means “what you like”, so feel free to add your favorite ingredients to make okonomiyaki that you will love.
