I have been thinking a lot about Japan recently as it has almost been two years since I got to visit the southern mainland.  I really want to find an excuse to go back...but honestly right now I don't think I could justify the expense in the slightest.  So in an effort to bring a little of Japan into my life I was thinking about the foods I enjoyed most when I was there: Tempura Sweet Potato Green Tea Ice Cream Nori Okonomiyaki

The first I can make anytime, the second I can find at my Safeway, the third at any Asian market, but the Okonomiyaki couldn't even be found through a vendor at Uwajimaya, Seattle.  A quick search online landed me at the on this article: http://www.seattlemet.com/eat-and-drink/nosh-pit/articles/unlikely-and-excellent-okonomiyaki-at-the-gastropod-april-2013 where Seattle's snooty Gastropod, Chef Travis Kukull claims to be serving it in his restaurant.  However, after closer investigation, he may be cooking it on a grill with greens, but that's just a small plate with a bunch of overpriced seafood preparation in my opinion.  

The dish is amazing when prepared modestly and traditionally; there is no need to turn it into some table dressing. 

I did however find the link, in the article, for Cooking With Dog's YouTube page to be the perfect refresher on how to cook it myself. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnL0rD57JIE)
