Popular food in Hiroshima

***Hiroshima Okonomi-yaki***

I always say Okonomi-yaki is Japanese style of pizza to American friends:))

# Okonomi-yaki (お好み焼き in Japanese)

- Okonomi = your choice
- Yaki = pan-fried

Each region have their original taste of Okonomi-yaki in Japan. Hiroshima is one of the best city to have that.

Here is what I had!
You pick up your favorite vegetable, meat or seafood to cook with flower dough.

This collage show you how to cook it.As you see on the collage, it use thin slice of cabbage, bean sprout, green onion, slice pork, flower dough, egg and egg noodle. And it usually grilled huge iron plate.

That was fun to watch cooking and eat hot okonomi-yaki in front of chief. It makes me hungry now...

Thinking of Hiroshima

Hiroshima Atomic-bomb day

August 6 is the day Hiroshima got Atomic-bomb during World War II. This building remain the devastation of bomb at that time. City of Hiroshima died in one second...

August 9 is the day Nagasaki got second Atomic-bomb. I think August is the time to think of peace for Japanese.

I visited Nagasaki Memorial Park when I was high school. I can't forget about shocking images of atomic bomb devastation. I always think of world peace after that experience.

Early this year, I had a chance to visit Hiroshima, so I stopped by Memorial park.
Hope you can see the alignment of monument, sacred fire and affected building from above image.

It's very quiet park. Million people are sleeping under stone monument. We all pray for the souls of the dead and eliminate atomic-bomb for our peace.

It was happened for some reason. We don't blame the fact anymore, we think of our peaceful future.
