If you are familiar with Japanese foods, when you think of okonomiyaki, you may think of Kansai (Osaka in particular). You'd be right in thinking this... However, in recent times, okonomiyaki can be found everywhere! In fact, did you know that there are multiple styles of it?
When I make okonomiyaki at home, I always make it Hiroshima-style because that way is my favorite. Hiroshima-style includes yakisoba noodles as a layer, which really gives it a nice extra texture. Actually, a majority of the people I talk to prefer Hiroshima-style to Kansai-style!
Now, when you think of Asakusa, do you think of okonomiyaki? No? Me neither! I think of temples and traditional Japan. But I actually went to a really delicious okonomiyaki restaurant with my friends and had a good time making it at the table! We went to Rokumonsen okonomiyaki restaurant and I totally recommend it! The prices weren't bad and the food was delicious.
Each table was fitted with a teppan, or a hot steel plate, in the center of the table. After choosing the types of okonomiyaki from the menu that we wanted, the ingredients were brought out to us.

You'll get your ingredients in a bowl. You need to mix them up yourself into a sort of paste. It may look gross now, but it'll taste delicious once it's all cooked!

Yum, this is making me hungry just thinking about this place and looking at the yummy pictures. I can't wait to go back... Or should I try a new place? There are a lot near Asakusa's Kaminarimon. I guess I'll see how I feel next time!
