Awesome Jon, great pics and thanks for sharing as always. The profile on those gyuto's you pictures are drop dead sexy!

[JBroida]

yeah... we often end up having in depth conversations about profiles, geometries, etc., so trying out various things is very helpful for both me and them

If it was at all possible, you just went up in my esteem.

+1 to this Jon. I'm really impressed with your dedication.

And on another note... okonomiyaki has been randomly popping up on my food radar in the past few weeks. I first saw a youtube video in Japanese of a small diner, and I had no idea what it was, but wanted it really badly! Then there was a story on The Splendid Table a couple of weeks ago. And then the other night I couldn't sleep and was watching food porn, and became obsessed with it! I had to make it this morning (well, my version with the ingredients that I have) and it was spectacular! My new favorite thing. And I been thinking - Jon, please have some awesome okonomiykaki so I can live vicariously through you! Thanks for posting all of this great stuff!!!

the last set of pictures represent my favorite okonomiyaki in japan (which happens to be made by a friends' wife)... theres another restaurant i really like, but i have no free time to go there this trip... its pretty much all work and then dinner with people we work with (and then more work when i get back to the hotel).

I wonder if you guys can tell me what i was eating?
