KodoGuru Ep. 9: Drama Notes
Ep. 9: "Hiroshima-Style Okonomi-yaki of Shimokitazawa, Setagaya Ward"
Episode Synopsis. Inogashira-san spends a day-off watching his friend's play in Shimokitazawa. Somehow, he falls asleep towards the end of the play. Later, he learns that the lead actress had run off. He finds her afterwards wandering in the streets and decides to follow her, while tasting the street food along the way. He ends up introducing himself to the young lady, who in turn opens up to him about her troubles. Inogashira-san may not be able to offer words of comfort but at least he was able to give her his take-out food, hoping it would be enough to console her. He leaves and realizes he has yet one more thing to console... his own tummy. He goes off and stumbles upon "Hiroki," a shop that serves teppan-yaki and Hiroshima-style okonomi-yaki...

Shimokitazawa. Also known as Shimokita. Many stage theaters and musical venues are located here, as well as cafes and hip and trendy store outlets.

Hiroshima-style okonomi-yaki. This style is more layered than of the mixed kind, with ingredients that commonly include batter, shredded cabbage, pork, with choices of squid and octopus, as well as noodles. An okonomiyaki is very easy to make, and customers usually are allowed to make it themselves but a Hiroshima-style (as shown in a clip below by marronrecipe) is quite difficult to make so it is best if the attendant does it for you.

Teppanyaki. Style that uses an iron griddle to cook food. Okonomiyaki is a form of teppanyaki.
