Teriyaki sauce provides a sweet alternative.

Boil water and add katsuobushi to make dashi, letting it sit for 2 minutes after turning off the heat.

Drain the dashi without using a sieve to avoid bitterness.

Add dashi to all-purpose flour little by little while stirring.

Cut half of the cabbage into thin slices.

Grate mountain yam and add it to the batter for texture.

Pour in the eggs and add pickled ginger and squid, then stir.

Add cabbage until the batter reaches the desired consistency.

Spread the batter onto a frying pan, making sure it's not too large for easy flipping.

After about 1 minute, top the batter with boiled potatoes and pork belly.

Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip carefully.

Top with okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, aonori, and fish flakes.
