Thin flour-and-dashi batter mixed with chopped squid, pressed between two scalding iron plates and cooked in 90 seconds to a chewy, savoury pancake. The Hanshin department store snack park's flagship dish.
Osaka-style ikayaki was born around 1950 at the Momodani Yakiya Kaiyukan and became a city-wide phenomenon when Hanshin Department Store's Snack Park opened a counter in 1957. The high-pressure twin-iron-plate technique is the modern signature. Hanshin's daily queue still moves 5,000 ikayaki on busy days.
