Okonomiyaki


This is the place setting for okonomiyaki. The metal sheet in the center of the table is a grill. This is one of those foods that you cook for yourself. Even if it sounds a bit odd it's quite pleasant. Especially while you're drinking.











Here's one of the bowls they bring to you. You can see meat, the cubes are cheese flavored mochi (very tasty), and some filler that I didn't quite catch.














First you pull the meat from the bowl and start it cooking. You've gotta cook it out a bit before adding the other ingredients.















Here's a shot of the second bowl. Only took photos of the first two we cooked. I was too busy eating the rest of the time. : )















Here's a shot with the rest of the ingredients cooking.
















Here's a picture of the first okonimiyaki getting flipped. It's a very difficult operation at best.















And here's the finished product. Yum, yum, yum.
