(14) Hiroshima-yaki of BigPig in Kanda, Tokyo

Hiroshima-style Okonomi-yaki of Big-Pig in Kanda, Tokyo.

Okonomi-yaki is similar food to pizza, made from the mixture of flour and egg.
The difference from pizza is to mix them with vegetable like cabbage, pork, chicken and/or seafood, not to just put them on the surface.

Bake both surface of this mixture on the cast-iron pan, sometimes by yourself.

Hiroshima is the second famous place for Okonomi-yaki at this point.. the top area is thought to be Osaka.
The difference between them depends on whether noodle or rice are included in mixture.

Hiroshima-yaki always includes noodle and/or rice.
I think many people would think these flour-made noodles do not need to be added into flour-made Okonomi-yaki.

I would agree about the idea until I ate it actually.

The next issue is sauce.
The sweeter sauce, or Otafuku-sauce, is usually used in Hiroshima-yaki. It is salty, but people from Hiroshima prefecture add more sauce in spite of having already put some.

There is a baseball team in Hiroshima, named Hiroshima Toyo Carps.
The citizen in Hiroshima supports it.
This shop is run by a chef from Hiroshima who also supports Carps. That is why it is fast and furious.

I guarantee that you will enjoy food and jazz up.
