Food!

My favorite part of Japanese festivals?
Eating.
Here, vendors prepare okonmiyai, which translates as "cooked as you like". It's a mix of batter, shredded cabbage and a choice of meats which is grilled, smothered with a thick Worcestershire-like sauce and mayonnaise, then topped with seaweed and fish flakes.
Tastes remarkably better than it sounds.
