You can substitute Okonomiyaki flour with normal flour.

The most basic okonomiyaki is made out of flour, water, egg, and cabbage. Dashi is for more flavor. You can find it in an Asian supermarket. But you don't need to use it if it's unavailable to you. The sauces are Japanese mayonnaise and Okonomi sauce. But these can also be substituted. You can check out the substitutes in the website I linked you. Just look for the Ingredients tab and then scroll all the way down.

You can put whatever you like in your Okonomiyaki too. Bacon, shrimp, squid, potatoes, tomatoes, etc. "Okonomiyaki" basically means "what you want fried". So yeah. You can mix in whatever you please with the batter.
For my okonomiyaki base I also add some finely diced Konyaku, bean sprouts and pickled ginger.
As for the special flour it has dried grated yamatoimo in it and is alway better if you use normal flour with freshly grated yamato-imo.
You can also substitute water with sake making it more rich in flavor.
