Okonomiyaki and Japanese Ice Cream

One area of Los Angeles that we've ventured into a little bit is Little Tokyo. We've really missed the amazing food from Japan; one of those being Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. Layers of cabbage, pork, egg, soba noodles, and more... YUM!

We have looked for okonomiyaki restaurants in large cities before so while driving to this one we were cautious about getting our hopes up.

Until we saw the sign outside....


This is it! YES! No pretend-sorta-almost-not-really-okonomiyaki! We're going to have the good stuff again!





And the kiddos loved it! We purchased okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise so I can make them at home, but it was great to share a little piece of our Japanese food love with James and Elizabeth.



After strolling through Little Tokyo and playing on some rocks, we decided the night needed a sweet ending. James and Elizabeth loved the ice cream but weren't interested in trying some of the more "Japanese" flavors. Salt ice cream, anyone?
