History of Okonomiyaki and Sauce
Okonomiyaki became popular in Japan when people were experiencing food shortage after the WWII. It was an efficient way to combine nutritious ingredients that were available. Today, Okonomiyaki has become one of the most popular traditional food in Japan.
After the end of WWII, Sasaki Shouten, the predecessor of Otafuku Sauce in Hiroshima, started the production of its sauces in order to prepare for the upcoming age of western food.
