May Festivals & Experiencing Okonomiyaki, Hiroshima Style

Overview

We look at May festivals and share comments and photos received from viewers, especially of the koinobori at Children's Day. These wind socks are flown in prayer for the healthy growth and success of children. We also try some traditional sweets eaten during the festival. Our reporter gives us an in-depth look at Hiroshima okonomiyaki. She visits some popular restaurants and tries her hand at making it. Okonomiyaki is referred to as a Japanese pizza or pancake, but the local style is much more.
