Yup!  They do grow ‘em big in Kansai.  Wow. 

And in Japan, you really can’t take the food home with you.

Amanda Kendle (via Hubpages) wrote that she witnessed the creation of a gigantic okonomiyaki — four meters wide — complete with mayo and okonomi sauce.  Apparently the humongous pancake was grilled on a giant frying pan and flipped by a construction crane.  Reported Kendle:

The part I loved the most was when it came to putting the sauces and toppings on. Another crane, like those that fireman use, came into play, with two men using huge hoses to spray okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise over the whole surface.

Amazingly, I can’t find any other stories about this on the web — this is truly unique and exclusive content. 

Anybody out there have other articles about this?  I would love to know how much flour, eggs, dashi, and cabbage they had to use.  And for that matter, how many people this giant okonomiyaki served!
