The one purchased this time is a six-pack. The price is 345 yen (tax included). Each package contains 3 pieces of mayonnaise yaki and 3 pieces of cabbage yaki. The package has a striking design that makes it instantly recognizable as an Osaka souvenir.
It looks like a miniature okonomiyaki and is very cute! With a crispy texture, the flavor of the ingredients intensifies as you chew, completing the taste of the okonomiyaki in your mouth. ......
The mayonnaise okonomiyaki has a strong overall flavor, with the rich and sour taste of mayo lingering in the aftertaste. The cabbage yaki is lightly seasoned with a hint of dashi broth. Personally, I like mayo yaki!

To be honest, at first I thought it was like a bad snack, but when I tried it, it tasted better than I expected! Sorry! I was licking my lips! The pleasant chewiness and saltiness are addictive. It would be good as a snack for alcoholic beverages!
