Chinchikurin specializes in Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, a beloved comfort food from Hiroshima, Japan. This dish features around 11 layers of vegetables, protein, carbs, and flavor, all brought together with the famous Otafuku sauce. Unlike the more common Osaka style, Hiroshima okonomiyaki includes individual layers for each ingredient, notably more cabbage, and a unique layer of grilled noodles.

At Chinchikurin, diners can witness skilled chefs expertly preparing Hiroshima style okonomiyaki on a teppan grill, enhancing the dining experience. The restaurant offers a fun twist on dining with mini spatulas for guests to cut and enjoy their meal, ensuring a playful and interactive experience while savoring this delicious dish.

Chinchikurin's history is deeply tied to the spirit of Hiroshima, with okonomiyaki evolving from a post-war snack to a staple food during the city's recovery. The restaurant prides itself on honoring this legacy by serving authentic Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, accompanied by the signature Otafuku sauce that encapsulates the true flavor of this iconic dish.
