Okonomiyaki

It's like a pancake, but savory.  This is one type of restaurant Japan has to offer that is more interactive because you cook it yourself.  Here is how it goes:

1) Choose an Okonomiyaki bowl.

  This time we chose "Spicy Beef" and "Wiener Punch".  We were intrigued by the name.

2) Stir it up really well.

These bowls are filled with batter, cabbage, and whatever meat or vegetable combination that you picked.

3) Pour onto grill.

This will be a great place to come in the winter because the grills make the whole restaurant smoking hot.

4) Make it into a nice pancake shape.

5) Once ready, flip!

6) Add Okonomiyaki sauce.

This sauce is similar to Worcestershire sauce but is thicker and sweeter.

7) Add mayonnaise, if you're into that sort of thing.

8) Or, don't ruin it, and eat it as is.

Quick, tasty, and cheap.  Perfect meal combination.
