The "beef tendon curry & seared cheese omurice" is a rich menu item that lets you enjoy curry and Omurice at the same time.
The curry roux infused with the flavor of beef tendon goes well with the butter rice and melty cheese, making it very tasty. It is also nice that the refreshing coleslaw is All you can eat.

I ordered the Cheese Demi-Glace Omurice. The harmony of the soft fluffy egg, melty cheese, and demi-glace sauce was irresistible. My friend ordered the curry Omurice. I had one bite, and this one felt more like a good curry topped with egg.

The classic “Omurice” stands out with the beautiful contrast between the yellow egg and the red ketchup.
The ketchup rice is wrapped in a soft, fluffy egg, making it a comforting, reliable dish from the very first bite. Demi-glace sauce is also available, so you can choose based on your mood that day.

What I ordered was the Omurice in the photo. That beautiful yellow color...！It looked delicious at a glance. The egg was not the soft and runny style that has been trendy lately, but a classic style cooked through. The ketchup rice inside was also well seasoned. It went perfectly with the rich demi-glace sauce.

The Omurice served in a piping hot Clay Pot looks exciting from the moment it arrives. When you break open the soft and creamy egg, the aroma of the savory sauce and rice rises up and really whets your appetite! The rice inside has a nice buttery aroma, and it goes perfectly with the sauce. Another special appeal of the Clay Pot is that you can enjoy it hot until the very last bite.

I had their signature demi-glace Omurice, and the sauce was rich and absolutely excellent! The fully glass-walled interior is bright, and it feels like a relaxing resort-like space you would never expect inside an office building. It is a place I would love to visit again when I want to enjoy a leisurely lunch!

This time, I went simple with the mozzarella Omurice! The bread, soaked with rich butter, was soft and delicious!! The Omurice with cheese mixed in felt fresh and different, and since the amount of cheese wasn’t too much, it wasn’t heavy and was easy to eat. The fluffy potatoes were filling too—such a nice bonus! You eat it with salt.

The fluffy soufflé Omurice is the best. A huge one sits right on top, but since it is a soufflé, it does not feel heavy at all. I finished it in no time. Why does Omurice make you feel so happy〜. It was really delicious!

I had the Hamburger Steak doria. The egg was not so much runny as pleasantly soft, and the Hamburger Steak was packed with meat while the juices were fairly restrained. The demi-glace sauce also had a rich flavor, making it a satisfying dish.

・Omu-gohan (omelet over rice)
A Japanese style omu-gohan made with mentaiko (spicy cod roe)✨I’m not that into ketchup rice, so this made me happy〜! The mentaiko rice had just the right seasoning and wasn’t too salty. The omelet came with the restaurant’s owl mark on it, and this also had a Japanese style taste, maybe with shirodashi (light-colored Japanese soup stock)? It went perfectly with the rice.

The soup is a light wakame (seaweed) soup, and the crisp texture and flavor of the green onions keep it nice and refreshing. The mugen cabbage (bottomless cabbage) I chose as the small side dish is seasoned mainly with black pepper and mayonnaise, and true to its name, once you start eating it, you just can’t stop.
