The story behind
I’ll never forget the first time I saw the bonito flakes 'dancing' on top of a hot Okonomiyaki. The name literally means 'grilled as you like it,' which makes it the ultimate Japanese comfort food. Originating from Osaka, it’s the kind of meal that brings people together over a shared griddle. It pairs perfectly with a crisp Japanese lager or even a hot green tea for a more grounded experience. It's best enjoyed as a late lunch or a cozy dinner when you just want something filling and full of flavor.
