4. Add the flour to the grated nagaimo, and mix well until it becomes difficult to continue mixing.
5. Add a couple of drops of mentsuyu sauce at the end.
6. Put all the ingredients into the bowl.

13. When both sides are browned and the pancake is cooked through, it's done.
14. Add any sauce and toppings of your choice such as okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise aonori seaweed powder, bonito flakes and so on!
15. Enjoy!
