What the name means

“Okonomi” can be translated as “what you like” and “yaki” means “grilled”. The idea is that each okonomiyaki is completed with the ingredients its eater or cook prefers.

What a classic okonomiyaki is like

The base is usually a batter with cabbage and egg cooked on a griddle. It is then topped with a sweet-savoury sauce, mayonnaise and katsuobushi shavings, which move with the heat of the dish.
