Chinchikurin
Hiroshima style restaurant in Torrance, CA.
Chinchikurin generally contains about 11 layers which consist of various types of vegetables, moderate portions of protein, a decent layer of carbs, and a few layers of extra flavor. And although each layer brings their own flavor and texture to the table, it’s the famous Otafuku sauce that brings them all together.
Hiroshima style okonomiyaki has a few distinguishing features compared to the more widely known Osaka style.
For one, each ingredient has its own layer. That means keeping each layer in order during cooking and merging all layers requires more attention and a little extra dexterity from the chef. Second, Hiroshima style uses a whole lot more cabbage. And third, there’s a layer of grilled noodles!
Watching masterful chefs preparing Hiroshima style okonomiyaki behind the teppan grill adds to the dining experience. Keep in mind that the best seats in the house are right at the counter!
