Popular places to enjoy Omurice in Oita City, Oita Prefecture

dish

Dish, about a 6-minute drive from Nishi-Oita Station in Oita City, is a Western-style restaurant where you can enjoy a wide variety of Omurice.

Set on a hill, it also has an open location with seats by the window offering a sweeping view over Beppu City. With counter seats and sofa seating, you can relax and take your time.

The “Hosekibako no Omurice” is a striking dish with a jewel-like, beautifully colorful presentation.

A rich cream sauce made with the flavor of oyster and seafood stock envelops the whole dish, and when you cut into the white omelet with a knife, soft egg yolk flows out from inside.

This is the weekday-only lunch menu item, the specialty “Meibutsu! Gyu Omu Top sirloin (200g) Beef Steak Omurice.” It is a hearty dish topped with a generous amount of beef.

It uses healthy lean red meat, and the rice is the restaurant’s special beef rice.

・Omurice Lunch D: A house specialty! Beef steak Omurice with gyu-omu Top sirloin (200g)
The meat is quite hearty too, so it is very satisfying! I used to prefer ketchup on my Omurice, but this sauce really shows it is a specialty Omurice restaurant! It is well developed and tasted great ^_^

Of course, it stands out for its unusual and luxurious look, but this is not the kind of Omurice that is only photogenic. It also tastes amazingly good, and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making it a place I’d love to visit again for another meal! The menu is full of dishes that look delicious, so I’d love to come back again and again to try different things!

When I cut into the omelet, soft runny eggs came out from inside. It tasted even better when eaten together with the tomato-based rice. The aroma of the shrimp also whetted my appetite.

When you step inside, the calm atmosphere makes it feel like a place where you can enjoy a relaxed meal. I ordered the Omurice and gyukatsu (beef cutlet). Just as rumored, the Omurice was soft and creamy, and so good. It made me want to go back again.

A restaurant I really love!! Ever since I first tried the Kaguya-hime Set, I’ve wanted to come back and eat here regularly. I actually wanted to have dango-jiru (dumpling soup), but it’s popular so it was sold out, and I ordered tori-ten (chicken tempura)! It was delicious.

Tamago Kitchen Maman

Tamago Kitchen Maman, located about 7 minutes by car from Nakatsu Station in Nakatsu City, is a place where you can enjoy Omurice made with carefully selected eggs and Western-style sweets.

The bright and charming interior mainly features table seating. Light pours in through the large windows and the high open ceiling, creating an airy and open space.

Their Omurice uses plenty of Kodawari Tamago TANTAN from Oita Prefecture. Its rich yolk brings out the flavor of the softly cooked omelet even more.

The "Combination Omurice" lets you choose any two sauces you like from four options: white, demi-glace, tomato, and curry.

What makes it appealing is that you can create your own original Omurice. The photo shows a combination of demi-glace and white sauce.

This time, I had the Combination Omurice, which lets you enjoy two kinds of sauce. I selected demi-glace and white from the four sauces available. Both were very good. As expected, the Tantan tamago (eggs) have rich yolks.
