Okonomiyaki from Chinchikurin in LA’s Little Tokyo, got their specialty (w/ ground beef instead of pork & bean sprouts), shishito peppers on the side, and a beer… this easily made my weekend

1. BTW have any other shishito lovers out there noticed that it seems like ~5% of the peppers served at restaurants have thermonuclear payloads?

   Let me state upfront that I’m no pepper head, jalapenos are spicy enough for me so maybe I’m just a wimp. Still, I really like the flavor of roasted shishitos (especially marinated in miso!) and they’re usually not spicy at all so I just go for it… but there’s always **that one** that sneaks up on me and gets a laugh from whoever’s around 😅

2. If it’s the one on Sawtelle Blvd. that place is great. I’d always hit up Nijiya Market across the street for snacks to bring home.

3. God I love me an okonomiyaki
