Okonomiyaki

Read in Japanese

We went to Osaka. I was told that in Osaka you absolutely must try takoyaki (balls of dough and octopus) and okonomiyaki (sometimes called a Japanese pancake).

**GRAMMAR NOTE: Osaka is famous for okonomiyaki = 大阪はお好み焼きで有名です・おおさかはおこのみやきでゆうめいです。Now you can use this pattern to say X is famous for/known for/infamous for Y. XはYで有名です。This is an awesome power. Please use it wisely.**

Usually you can make okonomiyaki yourself at the restaurant, right at your table, but ours was brought out already made. The flakes on top are bonito (apparently called かつお in Japanese).

They wiggled in the heat, which was a pretty cool effect.
