Okonomiyaki - made right here in Paris by our amazing Japanese friend Yukari during her all too brief stay in France.  Okonomiyaki is, literally by definition, “whatever you like, grilled”, and therefore can include a great variety of ingredients.  The base is a cabbage batter, cooked in the style of a giant hash brown-like pancake, in our case filled with a combination of pork, shrimp, and smoked pork belly - certainly things we like!  On top there’s a sprinkling of nori and bonito flakes, and liberally applied eel sauce.  All that’s missing is the mayo, which was added just after this photo was taken, seconds before the entire thing was devoured in a beastly manner.  A must-try in Japan, or wherever and whenever you’re lucky enough to get your hands on some. Thanks again, Yukari and Vincent!
