Hiroshima Okonomiyaki Lunch Experiment 広島焼き
Ойын-сауық
New Episode! Hiroshima Street Food on Miyajima: • Hiroshima Street Food ...
Hiroshima is one of Japan's top destinations, and when you're hungry, you have to try okonomiyaki. Hiroshima has it's own original style, and it's not so simple to make.
John travels to Okonomimura, a building full of Okonomiyaki shops, for lunch. There are many different toppings you can put on okonomiyaki. In many ways, it's like a pizza! In other ways, it's like a sandwich.
Taste is a personal preference so John experiments. With the help of a friend and the shop master, he puts one together.
Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is much different than Osaka's version. Osaka is more like a pancake with everything thrown into the batter. Hiroshima's is layered and takes time. The result is a more complex tasting meal. It's not just Hiroshima's soul food, it's super healthy and fun to eat.
About Okonomimura: It's a top destination for locals and tourists alike. It's packed with shops on 3 floors each with it's own recommended variety. Prices for okonomiyaki range from 800 yen to 1380 yen depending on toppings and ingredients.
Give it a try!

Spent the last hour after watching this trying to find a restaurant in Melbourne that makes Okonomiyaki like this, but I think we only have the Osaka style here. Now I'm just sad and hungry!

Daniel B If you can find the sauce, you're most of the way there! The recipe for the Osaka version is quite easy. Many Asian stores have the sauce. You may even be able to get the nori seaweed flakes and dried fish flakes mail order! Usually takes about 10 min to make one on a fry pan :) Maybe you'll have people lining up outside your door when the heavenly smell hits the air! -John

amen bruh. I've been fiending for some Hiroshima style okonomiyaki ever since I tried it right there at the mura in 2017. It's taken many disappointing (but still decent) meals to learn that Hiroshima does okonomiyaki their own special way
Dear John, my family and I are really enjoying the latest run of Only in Japan so far, please keep up the good work. We love the wide range of subjects explored too!

Thank you for watching the show, Sand Man ! Well, thought of putting it at first, but all of a sudden the exchange rate changed rapidly, while around 2013, 1$=90yen. 2014 1$=100yen, 2015 1$=120yen, so it was pretty difficult to predict what the equivalent is! Surely more difficult to predict what it will be next year - WAORYU staff

You can make okonomiyaki sauce, using ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Came out tangy and great! I'm having it on a "Okonomiyaki Omelette" pancake made using just 4 bacon strips made into a ring, and green onions & egg in the center. Tastes great! =3

John the Bizarre Food's host had this on this week. You are correct. People didn't have a lot to eat after the war so the Chef's used table scraps and came up with Okonomiyaki, a pizza, omelet, pancake all in one! We are moving to Japan in July! So Excited.

I really like your videos! I added Japan to the list of countries I want to visit. Keep up the great work : ) Happy subscriber here.
Really fun to see you cooked all that 👍
Of all the fantastic, wonderful dishes of Japan my favorite by far is the Hiroshima version of okonomiyaki. Aside from sushi it should be the national dish of a wonderful nation. I lived in San Francisco for 25 years and have found only one restaurant that sold anything similar to the dish. At this restaurant in Japantown it was known as 'modern yaki.' A great dish indeed but nothing near the the gem of a meal I had in Japan so many years ago. Thanks for posting this.
i discovered ur a little too late. but thank god i found it . thanks john for every video and hope i can meet you in real life when i travel the world.
I LOVE Japan! I was there in the USAF for 4 years, and I went back to visit Tokyo for 10 days in 2010. I graduated from Film/TV school (A trade school, not University), and personally would love to do things like this. Your works are top notch.
