Okonomiyaki Riho Hiro Hiroshima 28

Leveraging the Okonomiyaki is still hot...

Okonomiyaki Hiroshima Style

Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き o-konomi-yaki?) is a Japanese savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning "what you like" or "what you want", and yaki meaning "grilled" or "cooked" (cf. yakitori and yakisoba). Okonomiyaki is mainly associated with the Kansai or Hiroshima areas of Japan, but is widely available throughout the country. Toppings and batters tend to vary according to region. Tokyo okonomiyaki is usually smaller than a Hiroshima or Kansai okonomiyaki.

When served with a layer of fried noodles (either yakisoba or udon), the resulting dish is called modan-yaki (モダン焼き?), the name of which may be derived from the English word "modern" or as a contraction of mori dakusan (盛りだくさん?), meaning "a lot" or "piled high" signifying the volume of food from having both yakisoba and udon.

Negiyaki (ねぎ焼き?) is a thinner variation of okonomiyaki made with a great deal of scallions, comparable to Korean pajeon and Chinese green onion pancakes.

Hiroshima Area

In Hiroshima, the ingredients are layered rather than mixed. The layers are typically batter, cabbage, pork, and optional items such as squid, octopus, and cheese. Noodles (yakisoba, udon) are also used as a topping with fried egg and a generous amount of okonomiyaki sauce.

The amount of cabbage used is usually three to four times the amount used in the more common Osaka style. It starts out piled very high and is pushed down as the cabbage cooks. The order of the layers may vary slightly depending on the chef's style and preference, and ingredients vary depending on the preference of the customer. This style is also called Hiroshima-yaki or Hiroshima-okonomi.

Okonomi-mura, in Naka-ku in Hiroshima, was the top food theme park destination for families in Japan according to an April 2004 poll.

History

Food researcher Tekishū Motoyama has pointed out that a sort of thin crepe-like confection called funoyaki (麩の焼き?) may be an early precursor, though it hardly includes the bare elements that makes it identifiable as okonomiyaki. Records of the word funoyaki occurs as far back as the 16th century, and Sen no Rikyū writes about it, but what it really was can only be speculated, and may have involved the use of fu (wheat gluten), though certainly by the late Edo Period funoyaki referred to a thin crepe baked on a cooking pot, with miso basted on one side.

This, Motoyama writes, was modified into a form using nerian (練餡?)(Sweet bean paste) and came to be called gintsuba (銀つば?) in Kyoto and Osaka, then moved to Edo (Tokyo) where it was named kintsuba (金つば?), of which Sukesōyaki (助惚焼?), a specialty of Kōjimachi, was one variant.

In the Meiji Era, the confection was taken up by the dagashiya (駄菓子屋 "informal confection shop"?) trade, which called it mojiyaki (文字焼き?). After the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake when people lacked amenities it became sort of a pastime to cook these crepes. This fad gained great popularity, and soon, besides the sweet types, savory types using fish, vegetables, and various meat began appearing.

The issen yōshoku (一銭洋食 "1-sen Western food"?) of Kyoto, started around the Taisho era may have been the primitive form of okonomiyaki, as it uses worcestershire sauce and chopped scallion.

I left a box closed for almost one year, I opened the box and found an old magazine about the Japan Festival, held every year in São Paulo, flipping through by chance, I found something interesting.
2 days after citing the Okonomiyaki Oda and Aika, in a restaurant in Hiroshima.
Oda is not afraid to everything there is a question, a word, an action, but everything will be fine, your bracelet is very beautiful, love you.

Each stand has a specific numbering to more easily locate the cultural association of each region during the festival. So much stands but...

Guess what number of stand of Hiroshima Sayashi Riho Hiro?

Is the stand number 28, Hihihiroro :D

With so much variety and freedom to prepare the Okonomiyaki, the question is what the
Special Sayashi Recipe Red Riho Riho.

And it seems the stand Hiroshima was always 28.
Hiroshima (広 島 県, Hiroshima-ken) Is a Japanese province, region of Chugoku on Honshu island. Capital is the city of Hiroshima.
Since the last festival in 2008, year I attended the great festival of the Centennial of Japanese immigration to Brazil, the population in Hiroshima was 2,800,000.
Today is precisely 2.857,990 million, japanese are having too few babies.
In 2008 was also the year that also saw, real fragments of destruction, the bomb of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at immigration museum.
May 28 birth of Sayashi Riho, was born in Hiroshima Prefecture.

A curiosity of Hiroshima and your official bird, Red-throated diver. Always Red.

I realized that other stands have other specialties, Shizuoka for example It has Unagui-Kabayaki, Kakiagê-Tempurá. Aichi has Yaki Lamen, Missô- Kushikatsu Tempurá.

Some association even have more than 7 specialty.

Hiroshima in stand 28 is Only Okonomiyaki, seems that the Okonomiyaki is rice with beans and french fries of Rihoshima, sorry Hiroshima.
