In terms of cuisine, Hiroshima is well prepared before the start of the G7 summit. A chef created a “Germany” version of the local specialty, okonomiyaki, especially for the Chancellor.
A Japanese chef is hoping for a visit from Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the G7 summit in Hiroshima. Should the politician from distant “doitsu” (Germany) have time for a trip to the city on the sidelines of the top meeting of seven democratic economic powers and happen to drop by the Mitchan Sohonten restaurant, Mitsuo Ise would greet him with a specially created “Germany” version of the local specialty okonomiyaki, a type of Japanese pizza. “We prepared experimental dishes for all G7 countries. The tastiest was the German one,” says the okonomiyaki specialist proudly.
The basic ingredients are water, cabbage, flour, egg and dashi. Various ingredients are added to this, such as fish, mochi rice dumplings or vegetables. For Scholz, however, Ise came up with “typically German” ingredients: potatoes, sausages, sauerkraut and mustard. “Should it turn out that Chancellor Scholz-san can come, I would like him to eat it. Please come,” the Japanese told dpa Scholz, while he sang a “Scholz” on a large steaming iron plate. sample served. A young student can taste it: “It’s different from Japanese okonomiyaki, it contains potatoes, sausages and so on,” she says after finishing her meal. “It was extremely delicious”.
