  • 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!

    • @WaoryuONLYinJAPAN
      @WaoryuONLYinJAPAN  Před 9 lety +9

      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

      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

    I've had to watch a bunch of these while eating gyoza dumplings. It's the only way to stop yourself from immediately flying to Japan
