Large Portion of Chinese Chirashi Has is Tasty -Shunkaro in Obihiro-

Shunkaro (春香楼) is a long-established Chinese restaurant in Obihiro city and was founded in 1967. This restraunt is loved by local people because they have been eating the high-class Chinese cooking since half a century. The cooking skill is commended from China, home of Chinese cooking, too.

The reason why I visited famous authentic Chinese restaurant is that I want to eat Chinese Chirashi (中華ちらし) that is one of local sepicality foods in Obihiro. The Chinese Chirashi is a rice bowl dish from old days. Fried pork, fried vegetables and fried egg put on rice. Because ingredients are scattered on the rice, so it seemed to be named. * Chirashi means "Scatter" in Japanese.

In the old days, the Chinese Chirashi was staff meal. A certain regular customer wanted to eat it and asked an owner to want to eat it. He seemed to like it when he ate it a little. But the owner did not want to add the staff meal to a menu. But the regular customer wanted to ordinary eat it. Then he thought that he should add new menu himself and seemed to make a new menu with paying out of his own pocket. It seemed to cost a considerable sum of money in those days. The Chinese Chirashi became the popular menu like that. I thought the faith of the regular customer was excellent and the owner had a big-hearted to permit his action. The price was JPY 650. The dish had much quantity and a robust flavor. It was Tasty!
