I ordered the Omurice set. It came with three kinds of Appetizers, and the explanations were also polite and thorough. The Omurice was wrapped in a thin egg around ketchup rice. It had a light and gentle flavor. They came by many times to refill the water, and not just the food but the service was also at a high level, making it a very comfortable place.

Beef Tongue Omurice I was surprised because it was my first time having Beef Tongue so tender I could cut it with a spoon. Omurice I thought I might get tired of the flavor, but it was really good all the way to the last bite.

After looking at the menu, I ordered the Demiglace Sauce Omurice, which I had not tried yet. I ate the tasty salad while waiting, and after 7〜8 minutes, the Omurice arrived! The demiglace sauce looks beautiful! Of course, it tastes great too.

・Lunch Omurice with beef stew + curry sauce
The surface of the egg on the Omurice was cooked quite firmly, so it was on the firmer side. The ketchup rice was moist, and both the beef stew and curry sauce had a tangy flavor, making the whole dish tasty.

なーがー

●Omurice lunch set with house-made bacon from amaza-buta (sweet pork) and Wagyu ground meat. The sauce had a unique flavor and was delicious! I thought it would be demi-glace, but it tasted completely different, which surprised me! It had savory notes like soy sauce and porcini, a rich cheesy flavor like melted Parmesan, and buttery notes too.
