Introducing Japanese Things

Please introduce Japanese customs, food and people.

Many Japanese, especially young Japanese like "okonomi-yaki". Okonomi-yaki is pancake-like fried dishes whose ingredients are seafood, eggs, vegetables, and sliced meat.  They fry some seafood, eggs, vegetables, and sliced meat in a frying pan for a while and pour sauce on them. People can eat this fried pancake at shrines or temples on New Year holidays.  "Okonomi-yaki" dishes stands are made in shrines or temples on New Year holidays. Almost all kids love eating this. In other countries they don't have this kind of food.
