Welcome to the second post of kyoodo ryoori (\u90f7\u571f\u6599\u7406<\/strong>).\u00a0 The kyoodo ryoori (\u90f7\u571f\u6599\u7406<\/strong>) post is a montly run post where we visit a region and the special food that region is known for.\u00a0 Today, we’re gonna to check out the Kansai (\u95a2\u897f<\/strong>) region.<\/p>\n

The Kansai (\u95a2\u897f<\/strong>) region contains a host of famous cities like Osaka (\u5927\u962a<\/strong><\/span>), Kobe (\u795e\u6238<\/strong><\/span>), and Kyoto (\u4eac\u90fd<\/strong><\/span>).\u00a0 There are so many things to see and do in Kansai (\u95a2\u897f<\/strong>).\u00a0 It’s a famous region known to tourists and many restaurants are set up to cater to these tourists.<\/p>\n

\"\"Kansai (\u95a2\u897f<\/strong>) is known for its okonomiyaki (\u304a\u597d\u307f\u713c\u304d<\/strong><\/span>).\u00a0 Okonomiyaki (\u304a\u597d\u307f\u713c\u304d<\/strong><\/span>) is a pancake style dish consisting of eggs, cabbage, green onions, shimp or pork.\u00a0 First a batter is made.\u00a0 Then the ingredients are added.\u00a0 Before it’s fried, the teppan (\u9244\u677f<\/strong><\/span>) is greased with vegeatable oil.\u00a0 Then it’s fried on\u00a0the teppan (\u9244\u677f<\/strong><\/span>), which is an iron griddle.\u00a0 About a minute later, you flip the other side with a spatula.<\/p>\n

Some restaurants have the option of a self-serve policy where the customer fries his\/her own okonomiyaki (\u304a\u597d\u307f\u713c\u304d<\/strong><\/span>).\u00a0 All the restaurant does is provide the teppan (\u9244\u677f<\/strong><\/span>), the batter with the desired ingredients and utensils to eat it with.\u00a0 Other restaurants have a wide open teppan (\u9244\u677f<\/strong><\/span>) where you can see a professional chef make the okonomiyaki (\u304a\u597d\u307f\u713c\u304d<\/strong><\/span>) in front of you.\u00a0 If it’s not too cold out you can grab some hot okonomiyaki from a street vendor.\u00a0 The okonomiyaki (\u304a\u597d\u307f\u713c\u304d<\/strong><\/span>) is folded in half and wrapped with a paper plate so that you won’t need utensils to eat it.\u00a0 The only bad thing is that street vendors do not always have the most variety when it comes to the ingredients.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the okonomiyaki (\u304a\u597d\u307f\u713c\u304d<\/strong><\/span>) is made, some people sprinkle some fish flakes or some soy sauce on top.\u00a0 The great thing about okonomiyaki (\u304a\u597d\u307f\u713c\u304d<\/strong><\/span>) is that you can put whatever you want in it.\u00a0 It’s a great experimental food for all you aspiring chefs out there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
