I'll lock in that most recent version and reopen. I still think it's too long, but it's hard to find a balance between a clear concise gloss and additional useful information. (I've just suggested a small expansion of the 歌舞伎 entry, but it doesn't go very far into all the unique features,)

"savoury pancake fried on an iron griddle with vegetables, meat and/or seafood"
this makes it sound as if the vegetables and meat and/or seafood might be fried entirely separately from the batter. 

"topped with various sauces and condiments"
if it were the case that people/restaurants frequently put different kinds of sauces and condiments on top, this phrasing would make sense, 
but it's very specifically mayo and a sauce similar to Worcestershire sauce, aonori and bonito flakes. This is the same whether it's Osaka 
or Hiroshima style. I don't see the benefit of not mentioning exactly what's put on top. 

I think it's a shame to not specifically mention the cabbage but just reduce it to "vegetables", when it's a main ingredient of the batter 
and not normally what you'd associate with a pancake recipe in the West (savoury or not). Again, both Hiroshima and Osaka okonomiyaki have 
cabbage in the batter.

This is a dish that really has no Western equivalent and isn't widely known outside of Japan.
