After nearly
two weeks of being in Japan and dining on some of the best foods around, I found a dish I just couldn't eat:
okonomiyaki. It's a kind of grilled pancake consisting of various types of meat and doused in the namesake sauce (and apparently one of Japan's favorite foods). I even tried yaki udon (prepared the same way, but instead of a pancake, it's fried noodles) with shrimp, but nothing worked. Nino says it was some of the best he's had, but I was not having any of it.
I was beaten by first-class okonomiyaki in Kyoto. At least the view from the restaurant was nice. Oh, and the beer was frosty cold, which brings good marks in my book.
