Ok, so food is kind of one of my favorite hobbies. Since arriving here I’ve been mangled several times. Out of all my travels, this is the first time where I kind of wish I just had some good old HOME cuisine. In France, I never desired food from home. Here is a whole other story. I have spoken several times about school lunch and that’s where most of the adventures come from. So instead of talking about all those meals that put me in the corner of the room in silence, I’m going to give you some good stuff to try!

So the title of the post is the food I want to mention. Okonomiyaki is probably Mom’s best friend in Japan (and mine too)! It’s super easy to make. You have the mix, add an egg, some water, assorted vegetables and some meat. BAM! You have okonomiyaki (after some frying pan action of course). They have a spiffy sauce you toss on there with some mayonnaise and you have dinner. In Japan of course, each region is famous for something in every category. Famous lighthouse, famous food, famous omiage, famous tree, famous rock, famous street sign pole. Whatever. In Hiroshima, they are well known for their Okonomiyaki because it comes with a twist. You have the choice of Chinese Noodles or Udon! It’s alright, but classic okonomiyaki is just as good. Come on over, we’ll grab a drink and hit the okonomiyaki bar.
