Flashback Friday - Okonomiyaki
Authored By:
Ohayou Gozaimasu!
Your friendly, neighborhood, program leader Lauren is here again for another update! This time we're flashing back to the good old days of.... last Sunday!
Our students were able to meet college (and a few high school) students. From our lodgings, the students were brought to the metropolitan building, which is a free place to view the entire city. Then, they were brought to a famous shrine, Meiji Jingu. After that, we had Okonomiyaki, a savory-type pancake. The students could have one topping of their choice, and it was all you can eat! The expert college students helped our students learn to cook on the 'teppan', a grill that is set into the table (kind of like hibachi). The kids ate their fill and had a lot of fun!
Nathaniel, Oliver, and Nick are instructed on how to make proper okonomiyaki
Annie, Simon and Fifi try MONJAyaki, a specific kind of okonomiyaki that was created in Tokyo
Josh and Brandon are waiting for the okonomiyaki to be ready
Emma and Audrey, hai - cheese!
That's it for this program leader today, stay tuned for another update!
This is PL Lauren, signing out for now!
