Modan-yaki · Osaka
Osaka okonomiyaki layered over a bed of yakisoba noodles on the griddle, capped with egg and finished with okonomi sauce, mayonnaise and bonito flakes. Heavier and more carbohydrate-dense than plain okonomiyaki.
Modan-yaki appeared in postwar Osaka okonomiyaki houses as a stretching of the basic dish, layering cheap yakisoba noodles under the batter to feed more diners. The name combines the English modern with the Japanese yaki; by the 1970s every okonomiya in the city offered a modan variant, and it is now the canonical add-on order for Osaka griddle dining.
