Omelette Rice  Japan

Omelette Rice is would like to introduce Omurice, a food that originated in Japan and is loved by children and adults, and is made by wrapping chicken rice with rice, chicken and onions fried in ketchup in eggs.

What is Omelette Rice?

Bake the beaten egg thinly in a frying pan and wrap the seasoned rice. Most of the time, ketchup rice such as chicken rice is used, but there are also cases where pilaf, fried rice, butter rice, etc. that do not use ketchup are used. It is common to mold it into a spindle shape and sprinkle it with tomato ketchup, demiglace sauce, bechamel sauce, etc.

There are several stores that claim to be the origin of omelet rice, but the most prominent stores are “Hokkyokusei” in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, and “Rengatei” in Ginza, Tokyo.

Introducing the secret story of the birth of omelet rice by decorating it in the Hokkyokusei store

Shortly after its founding, in 1925 AD, a regular customer with a stomach upset always ate an omelet and white rice. At one point, the owner asked, “Isn’t it always the same food?”, Stir-fried it, wrapped it in tomato ketchup rice, and served it as a special dish. Then, the customer was surprised and asked, “What is the dish?”, So the owner immediately answered, “The usual omelet and rice, and this is Omurice.”

In Japan, Omelet Rice is called Omurice.

The eggs were fluffy and the sauce was different from what it looked like, and it was easy to eat and delicious.

The Hokkyokusei store was built in a Japanese style like a Japanese restaurant, which I can’t think of as a Western-style restaurant. The omelet rice I ate in a Japanese-style space felt fresh.
