Hiroshima Japan’s Okonomiyaki Delicacies

Okonomiyaki, a cherished culinary gem of Hiroshima, Japan, is more than just a dish; it’s an experience deeply rooted in the region’s culture and history. Often referred to as Japanese savory pancakes or pizza, Okonomiyaki is unique for its ability to reflect the individual’s preferences, as “okonomi” translates to “what you like.”
It starts with a thin crepe-like batter on a hot griddle, followed by a mountain of cabbage, bean sprouts, pork slices, and seafood, then topped with noodles. A generous dollop of Okonomiyaki sauce—a sweet and savory concoction similar to Worcestershire sauce—mayo, and aonori (seaweed flakes) complete this hearty creation.
This dish embodies Hiroshima’s spirit—creative, inclusive, and unwaveringly delicious.
