omu soba

Looks delicious?
or yacky?
No No, this is extremely delicious. Totemo oishii desu.
This is omu-soba I had in Osaka.  Yakisoba (fried noodle) is in this omelet.
Actually, Osaka is a famous place for Okonomi-yaki, a Japanese pancake (cabbage, egg, flour, yam, plus whatever your favorite ingredients such as mochi (sticky rice cake), cheese, shrimp, pork, etc.)
This time, I had this omu-soba and tomato okonomi-yaki. :) kore mo oishikatta! (This one was also delicious)
Basically, there are two types of Okonomi-yaki: Osaka style and Hiroshima style. Osaka one mix all ingredients before grilling on teppan (heated iron plate) On the other hand, Hiroshima-style's ingredients are layered rather than mixed together.
By the way, Osaka is the place to eat. There are so many restaurants and food stalls along the streets.
The photo above is a famous icon in dooton-bori street. His name is Kuidaore Taro. Kuidaore means " eat until you  knocked out"
A company that used own this doll closed down few years ago, and now it's sold to photo shop for tourists. It's pity that we cannot take photo with Taro.
Today's Vocabulary
