Tuna Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki, a Japanese savory pancake. Derived from the word "okonomi" meaning "what you like" and "yaki" meaning "grill". Suggested by the name itself, here's my version of okonomiyaki, tuna okonomiyaki. By the way, you can get the bonito flakes at supermarkets with Japanese products corner. I've got mine from a Japanese fair. Click here for the video.
