Thin Osaka pancake stacked heavily with finely sliced naga-negi spring onion, often filled with sliced beef or squid, brushed with soy and Worcestershire and folded. The lighter, scallion-led cousin of okonomiyaki.
Negiyaki was trademarked in 1994 by Yamamoto, a Yodogawa-ku okonomiya in Osaka that had served the scallion-led pancake since 1965. The hostess invented it to feed her children, lighter on flour and heavier on naga-negi than okonomiyaki; customers asked for it on the menu and it stayed. Negiyaki spread across Kansai by the 2000s; Kobe pairs it with the local Doro sauce, while Osaka's defining version is still folded thinner and brushed with soy plus Worcestershire.
