Okonomiyaki, a savory pancake-like dish cooked on a griddle, is becoming increasingly popular among international visitors to Japan.
Besides the boom in Japanese cuisine overseas, okonomiyaki has been drawing interest due to the wide variety of ingredients that can be used, making it suit different dietary requirements.
Hiroshima and Osaka are known for their versions of okonomiyaki. During the G7 summit in Hiroshima in May, the dish garnered attention. The unpretentious meal is also a prime candidate to be offered to visitors at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo.
