Okonomiyaki @ Mitsuwa
Since Mitsuwa’s been celebrating their anniversary sale for the past few weeks, they’ve had several booths set up in the walkway space outside the main supermarket. On Saturday the 16th, Otafuku Foods, a Japanese company popular for it’s retail sales of okonomiyaki sauce and flour, occupied one of the booths making these delicious concoctions.
The workers had an efficient assembly line in rotation, carefully mixing up the batter and cabbage, topping each mound with 2 pieces of thinly sliced pork. Each okonomiyaki was $5 and it was delicious. Warm, fluffy and topped with just the right amount of sauce(hold the mayo!) and ao nori, each bite was inhaled.
The great thing about this dish is that it doesn’t fill me up in a bloated MSG hangover ramen way. It has a lot of veggies too, so that’s a plus. I’d much rather digest one of these puppies than have a salad. This was my 2nd time eating okonomiyaki, and I’ll be learning to cook it at home in the near future. Looks pretty easy.
