The Star Ingredients of Kyo Chabana
What makes Kyo Chabana’s Okonomiyaki stand out? It’s all about the quality and care put into sourcing their key ingredients.
Satsuma Chami Pork: A Taste of Kagoshima’s Finest
First up, let’s talk about the incredible “Satsuma Chami Pork”. This brand-name pork from Kagoshima is a true testament to thoughtful farming. These pigs are raised with a special diet that includes green tea, which contains catechin, a component known to promote health. Their feed also incorporates corn, sweet potatoes, and barley. To ensure the pigs grow up healthy and stress-free, Kyo Chabana utilizes a “fermented bed” system. The result? Pork with superior lean meat, clean fat, and a deep, rich flavor. It’s packed with inosinic acid, a savory umami component, guaranteeing a truly delicious pork experience. You can savor this premium pork in their “Kyoto-style pork okonomiyaki” or the popular “No. 2 Mixed (pork, shrimp, squid) thick noodle yakisoba”.
Kyoto-Raised Konkou Eggs: Golden Yolk, Rich Flavor
Next, let’s crack open the secret behind their rich Okonomiyaki: the “Kyoto-raised Konkou Eggs”. These aren’t just any eggs; they are the result of a unique feed blend developed by a Kyoto-based feed manufacturer. This special blend produces eggs with an unparalleled rich yellow yolk and a deep, concentrated flavor. Eggs are already a nutritional powerhouse, primarily composed of protein and fat, and containing most vitamins (except dietary fiber and vitamin C) and minerals, making them highly nutritious.
Japanese Cabbage: The Unsung Hero and Superfood!
And finally, the humble yet mighty “Japanese Cabbage”! While often overlooked, cabbage plays a vital role in both the taste and nutritional value of Okonomiyaki. Cabbage is bursting with vitamin C and is an excellent source of dietary fiber. But here’s a fun fact you might not know: it also contains “cabbagein” (Vitamin U), which is known for its stomach and intestinal strengthening properties. A healthy gut not only boosts your appetite but can also enhance your immunity, helping you ward off colds. And guess what? The dietary fiber and vitamin C that eggs lack are perfectly complemented by the cabbage in Okonomiyaki. This makes Okonomiyaki a true “superfood”! You’ll find this wonderful ingredient in every “Traditional okonomiyaki and yakisoba” dish, including the “No.1 Kyoto-style okonomiyaki with mix (pork, shrimp, squid)” and the “No.3 Kyoto-style okonomiyaki of beef skirt steak”.
