travel to HIROSHIMA -1-


We went to HIROSHIMA, which is in the western Japan. In Hiroshima they have a world heritage sight "Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome".

Of course we visited there, but our "aim" of this travle was eating "OKONOMIYAKI of HIROSHIMA". Many people know that "OKONOMIYAKI is a kind of unsweetened vegetable pancake". Actaully OKONOMIYAKI I make is like a pancake.

BUT OKONOMIYAKI of HIROSHIMA is completely different. It is like a Sansandwich with fried noodle and vegetable (mainly cabbage and beansprouts) between thin crepe and thin fried egg. We ate at three OKONIYAKI restaurants, basically they were same but the sauce (kind of worcester sauce) was different. "DELICIOUS!"

Though my husband is almost into "HIROSHIMA OKONOMIYAKI", but unfortunately we don't have such "HIROSMIHA-FU (like) OKONOMIYAKI" restaurants. That's too bad.
