A: Apparently, there's a little drama! There’s Hiroshima-style and Osaka-style okonomiyaki, you know?
B: Yeah, I’m familiar with both!

A: Well, people in Hiroshima *really* don’t like it when others call their style "Hiroshimayaki."
B: Seriously? Why?

B: Wow, that's interesting!

A: Apparently, people outside Hiroshima often use "Hiroshimayaki" because they need to specify.
B: So, Osaka-style is more common outside of Hiroshima then?

A: Exactly! Osaka-style is easier to make at home, too.
B: Makes sense.

A: Some people are okay with "Hiroshima-fu okonomiyaki" – that's "Hiroshima style". It’s a little better.
