Okonomiyaki (‚¨D‚ݏĂ«, Okonomiyaki) is a type of Japanese pan-fried batter cake with various ingredients.
Okonomi means "what you like", or "what you want" and yaki means "grilled" or "cook" (cf. yakitori and yakisoba) in Japanese, so this dish's name means "cook what you like, the way you like".

qilver you can eat in in the Torrance area at Gaja Okonomiyaki...I've been there 3 times

I've decided.
After I take care of all of my 'ish' down here, I'll be moving to Japan. Probably next year October.
Just thought I'd share. :beaten:

When I move, if any of you decide to come down to the Kansai (Osaka, Nishinomiya, Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, etc) area, PM me and hopefully we can meet up. (I'll most likely be in either Ashiya, Nishinomiya, or Osaka)

They were at the after-party (after the wedding reception).

Holy smokes, it was perilous, as the Python Boys would say.

Working on uploading some more photos soon.
