Okonomiyaki
The sizzling sound as it cooks on the iron plate. The savory aroma of the sauce rising up, and the moment the spatula presses into the fluffy batter—it is simply irresistible. It is said that its roots lie in 'Dondon-yaki,' which was popular in Tokyo during the Taisho era. This spread to the Kansai region and evolved into 'Issen Yoshoku,' made of flour dissolved in water and brushed with Worcestershire sauce. It was reportedly called 'Yoshoku' (Western food) because sauce was considered fashionable and Western at the time. Eventually, amidst the food shortages after the war, it developed primarily in Osaka due to its convenience of being prepared on a single iron plate, evolving into its current form with plenty of mixed-in cabbage. Choose your favorite ingredients 'as you like' (okonomi). The joy of gathering around the iron plate with everyone is part of the flavor itself.
