Okonomiyaki Kiji Shinagawa: The Soul of Osaka in Tokyo
When you think of okonomiyaki, does it remind you of the rich, down-to-earth atmosphere of Osaka? Today, I’m taking you to Shinagawa, Tokyo, to visit a renowned restaurant that perfectly embodies the spirit of Osaka, called ‘Kiji Shinagawa.’ This legendary brand originated in Umeda, Osaka, and is listed among the ‘Top 100 Okonomiyaki Restaurants.’ Get ready for a journey that will not only fill your stomach but also bring you a sense of happiness and nostalgia!
Here, the teppanyaki is prepared by professional chefs, not something you do yourself. Watching them skillfully flip the batter and sprinkle on the ingredients feels like enjoying a small performance, captivating you visually even before you take a bite. Especially after work, sitting alone at the counter, ordering an okonomiyaki paired with a cold beer, this little happiness is truly irreplaceable.
Signature Dishes: Beef Tendon Okonomiyaki and Modern Okonomiyaki, offering an ultimate taste experience.
When it comes to ‘Kiji’s’ signature dishes, how can we not mention ‘Beef Tendon Okonomiyaki’ and ‘Modern Okonomiyaki’? First, let’s introduce the ‘Beef Tendon Okonomiyaki,’ which is the star of the menu. The beef tendon, slow-cooked for a long time, is tender, and its rich flavor melds into the fluffy batter, topped with plenty of green onions and brushed with a sweet and sour sauce. The moment you take a bite, a wave of happiness washes over you! The rich meat aroma of the beef tendon, the freshness of the green onions, and a hint of dashi flavor create a depth that makes you want to order another one.
Next is the ‘Modern Okonomiyaki,’ a classic from Osaka. The thin batter wraps around stir-fried noodles, topped with a fragrant fried egg, creating a delightful blend of crispy and soft textures. The chef uses a broth made from chicken bones, kombu, and bonito flakes to prepare the batter, which explains its special depth of flavor. For those who love larger portions, you can upgrade to a bigger size for an absolutely satisfying meal.
Of course, the classic ‘Butatama’ is also a must-order choice. It is said that ‘experts in okonomiyaki start with Butatama and end with Butatama.’ This seemingly simple yet extraordinary dish carries the refreshing aroma of shiso, adding a touch of liveliness to the rich sauce. Each bite pays homage to Osaka’s tradition, simple yet deeply satisfying.
Historical Background: From a Stall in Umeda to a Renowned Restaurant in Tokyo
‘Kiji’s’ story begins in 1954. At that time, it was just a small stall located in the Shin Umeda Food Street in Osaka, initially a place for standing and drinking. It wasn’t until 1969, just before the Osaka Expo, that it officially transformed into a restaurant specializing in okonomiyaki, establishing its status in the world of flour-based dishes. The founder’s dedication to ingredients and grilling techniques has attracted countless diners with ‘Kiji’s’ unique flavors.
In 2005, due to the enthusiastic requests from fans in Tokyo, ‘Kiji’ finally opened its first Tokyo branch in Marunouchi. The Shinagawa location opened in 2010, allowing those who love Osaka flavors to enjoy them in Tokyo.
