October 13, 2013

It's time for another instalment of Japlanning the Menu, and today we are covering a specialty that, although devoured all over Japan, originates from Osaka. The delicious Okonomiyaki, or as you may know from your home town’s Japanese restaurant, "Japanese pancake".

It's a classic dish in Japan, and can be found all over the country, with over 30,000 restaurants serving the dish in Japan alone, it is definitely a dish that you want to try when in Japan.

Before getting too comfortable in Tokyo it was time to head to Osaka.

To get down Osaka way, we got on the SHINKANSEN!! The Shinkansen as most normal people will say it, is the bullet train system all over Japan. Without getting into too much of a love letter to Japanese trains, it's amazing and you will ridicule your own countries train systems after experiencing it.
