japanese street food - hiroshima style okonomiyaki お好み焼き ( hiroshimayaki )

making hiroshima style okonomiyaki in a festival food stall. お好み焼き
Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake containing a variety of ingredients. The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning "how you like" or "what you like", and yaki meaning "grill". Okonomiyaki is mainly associated with the Kansai or Hiroshima areas of Japan, but is widely available throughout the country. Toppings and batters tend to vary according to region. In Tokyo, there is a semi-liquid okonomiyaki called 'monjayaki.' お好み焼き
Kansai- or Osaka-style okonomiyaki is the predominant version of the dish, found throughout most of Japan. The batter is made of flour, grated nagaimo (a type of yam), water or dashi, eggs and shredded cabbage, and usually contains other ingredients such as green onion, meat (generally thin pork belly, often mistaken for bacon), octopus, squid, shrimp, vegetables, konjac, mochi or cheese. Okonomiyaki is sometimes compared to an omelette or a pancake and may be referred to as a "Japanese pizza" or "Osaka soul food" お好み焼き

I hate watching videos like this late at night. Now im starving 🤤

I know. My problem is I've been sick and just can't eat even though I really want to.😢

Japan is possibly the only country where I'd be completely comfortable eating streetfood without calculating the shortest route to a toilet before the first bite.

I thought he was saying 'something' CHOY.....and Choy means vegetable in Chinese......so I thought maybe a similar word in Japanese might mean a vegetable.....so I kept thinking he was yelling 'fresh vegetable' or something.

[@CocoonBloom]

He is saying “Hai, Irasshai” which means welcome

Years ago, I started mixing up what we'd have for "thanksgiving" meal. After researching recipes for my 'Japanese' thanksgiving ~ I made Okonomiyaki with a variety of toppings , miso soup , and had my local sushi purveyor do up a giant platter... w/ mochi ice cream balls for desserts~ It was a hit!

[@Siglex]

Sounds great!

[@user-kl5zd2oe3e]

I have had both styles from the source. And I can honesty say Hiroshima style is the best style.

Totally agree..

[@heidinewcombe696]

The food always looks ridiculously delicious. The videos showing making mass healthy lunches for schools in Japan makes me weep when I compare them to the garbage they give the kids in US schools. Pure magic to the tastebuds.

[@cheetaking243]

He's yelling "irasshai," aka "welcome." Japanese vendors are expected to greet customers in this way, ("irasshaimase" is the full phrase,) it's a cultural thing that you'll hear almost every vendor/shopkeeper saying.

[@TheSeptemberRose]

I couldn't believe how beautiful those egg yolks were! I have only ever had okinomi from a place in Toronto called "Okinomi House". They're kind of like a cross between a pancake and an omlette and they're DELICIOUS!!!!!!

The guys screaming in the background reminds me of this creepy guy selling dried sweet plum wrapped in a plastic paper way back in Hong Kong back during the early 80s. He would throw the wrapped dried sweet plum from the street to the higher floor residents and people would yell to him and throw changes from their window to this scary noisy middle aged man who look like a child adductor that sound in the background yelling every 5-10 seconds for 15 minutes straight. He would show up in a very quiet afternoon around 3-4pm. My older sister and I would run back to our room and lock all doors.

[@Siglex]

Happy to remember old days.

[@5h4rk1337]

Hmm yeah, why would someone be standing at a food stall calling out to people... 🤔 Ok let's put our heads together and think this one through! Why would someone be standing at a food stall? Hmm... I got nothing. Ok so why would someone call out to people passing by a food stall? Hmm... yeah. Still nothing. You guys are right, this is a real mystery. Very complicated situation. Are there any geniuses in the chat who can tell us simple folk, what the HECK could a man be doing, standing at a food stall and calling out to people? All I know is, it isn't in my language, so I'm getting MAD, because this isn't catered specifically to ME.

[@platypuslord2399]

Is the food stall invisible? Or maybe it is camouflaged.

[@woahhbro2906]

Or the guy's voice could be annoying...don't need to speak the language to know that. He also doesn't have to scream every 3 seconds. People don't walk that fast.

A commentary saying what the cook is putting on each time he adds something would be good. e.g. at 2:13 I'm guessing "something brown from a plastic bottle" might be soy sauce or some variant of it? The description says "the batter is made of flour....and usually contains other ingredients such as green onion, meat (generally thin pork belly, often mistaken for bacon), octopus, squid, shrimp, vegetables, konjac, mochi or cheese." I suspect it is the okonomiyaki rather than the batter which contains those things.
