DANDAN(Yokohama, Genghis Khan, Japanese cuisine)

Gen Gen Genghis Khan!!!
I heard because of the shape of hot plate used for the cook resembles to the hat of Genghis Khan, grilled lambs are called Genghis Khan in Japan(the cuisine was born in Hokkaido). Sheep meats are my acquired taste. Compare to beef, pork and chicken, lamb or mutton are still not so popular in Japan. But the lamb served by this restaurant are good quality and we can try various cuts of the sheep. Sometimes sheep cutting off show is held at this place. A butcher cuts a lamb off in front of customers and we can order any cuts of the lamb we like, yum yum! I also recommend you to try lamb stew with blue cheese, that's really stinking but addictive.

WAKATAKE(Kawasaki,Japanese cuisine)

Okonomiyaki is an interesting Japanese cuisine. According to some theories, Okonomi-yaki was named because we can put anything we like(OKONOMI) into the pancake dough and grill(YAKI) it on a hot plate. There are many kind of Okonomiyaki in Japan but Kansai-Fu(West Japanese style) and Hiroshima-Fu(Hiroshima style) are famous indeed. The difference between Kansai-Fu and Hiroshima-Fu is the source. Kansai-Fu uses Worcester sauce, Hiroshima uses original sweet taste source on the other hand. Personally I prefer Hiroshima-Fu to Kansai-Fu, because Hiroshima-Fu has a sunny side up egg on it (yum yum). Apart from Okonomiyaki, this restaurant serves Monjya-yaki which is a Tokyo style Okonomi-yaki but the dough is much thinner. Both Okonomiyaki and Monjya-yaki are DIY style, but if you are not confident for cooking it, you can ask the shop staffs for help.
