 | | Okonomiyaki is a Hiroshima specialty, a remarkable mix of crepe, cabbage, egg and noodles, along with a choice of pork, shrimp or octopus and any number of toppings, including corn, bean sprouts, spring onions, rice cakes, cheese and fish flakes. |
 | | Hiroshima has by some estimates more than 2,000 restaurants that specialize in okonomiyaki, most easily identified by the hot-plate counters at which hungry patrons belly up. |
 | | Ono spread the batter in perfect circles on the hotplate counter in front of us, then piled on one ingredient after another: fish powder, cabbage, corn, bean sprouts, spring onion, pork, salt, pepper, egg, cheese, then noodles. |
