If takoyaki is Osaka’s top street snack, okonomiyaki comes in at a close second. This simple but filling food is a pancake-like dish with shredded cabbage and typically a seafood such as squid, prawn or octopus. Popular toppings are okonomiyaki sauce, mayonaisse, dried bonito, and green laver (aonori). At some restaurants, customers prepare their own okonomiyaki on a hot plate at their table.
