What is Okonomiyaki?

An easy dish that consists of okonomiyaki batter mixed with eggs and cabbage, ingredients such as fish and meat, and toppings such as sauce, aonori (dried green seaweed), and katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes). The recipe varies depending on the area of origin: to make Kansai-style okonomiyaki you need to mix the ingredients into the batter before cooking, while the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is a thin layer of batter topped with cabbage and yakisoba (fried noodles). The availability of different variations is one of the many reasons for its popularity among Japanese people.

History

It’s said that the roots of okonomiyaki come from senbin in ancient China, until it eventually evolved into its modern form during the 20th century. During the 1920s and 1930s when yoshoku (western food) became a cultural phenomenon in Japan, Issen Yoshoku, cooked batter made from water and flour rolled around chopsticks, gained popularity. During the post-WWII period in the 1940s, people mixed different ingredients into the batter in order to escape hunger, creating the modern day okonomiyaki. Since then, okonomiyaki has been ever-evolving as part of an important food culture that flourishes in different regions of Japan.
