Many a W.A.R. story....: Food Frenzy, Part 1

Let me start this off by saying that there is just way too much delicious food in Japan to blog about. However, a central source of my joy here (and what keeps the marbles in my head sometimes) is the cuisine consistently put on my pallette. Food in Japan is nothing less that deliciously awesome. So, without further ado, I present to you the grub that most frequently passes through my digestive track:

Okonomiyaki

Perhaps you recall this from a previous post. Well, it's officially my favorite Japanese food. I average about one face full a week. There's a few different styles. My favorite? Kansai style baby!

Jam packed with everything edible; udon noodles, egg, kimchi, bacon, cabbage, cheese, cheese, and more cheese (by special request), along with lots of other fun foods I've forgotten.. Its topped with fish flakes and a healthy smothering of the tastiest sauce known to Japan, this pancake takes the... cake.

In a close second is Hiroshima style okonomiyaki. It's by far the most popular amongst the masses. Easy to understand why, it's simply delicious!

Starts off looking like this...

Then a double yolked egg gets slopped on top!

The restaurant I go to serves a killer variation called yakyudo, resembling something between an omlette and a football!

I seem to have forgotten how delicious it looks everytime I've ordered it, so I have a somewhat small library of photos. Regrettably, these quick snaps taken on an IPhone hardly do it justice. Anyways, here's a few!
