What’s round and topped with cabbage, ginger pickles, bean sprouts, mayonnaise, otafuku sauce and dried fish shavings? Okonomiyaki pizza, of course!
The beloved Osaka “omelet” is traditionally made with an eggy batter that includes shredded slimy yams, but Shakeys gives it a Western-style twist by piling all the ingredients onto a pizza crust instead. Pass the seaweed, please!

Only In Japan 
As with so many — though by no means all — of the food oddities you surface for us, Jonelle, I find this kind of appealing.
So, what are you having for Thanksgiving dinner?
I went out for paella with my friend Ayumi! The place where I live now doesn’t have an oven, so pretty much all the traditional foods weren’t even in the realm of possibility. Never realized before how much we rely on baking!
Paella sounds great!
