Into the book
Omelette rice is always in my heart
At 1:20 p.m., Taimeiken was packed with people.
I finally sat down and looked around absentmindedly. The two men on the right were having omelet rice, the couple on the left were having hayashi rice for the woman and omelet rice for the man.
The man who came alone on the other side also had an omelet rice, and on the other side of that… … .
At lunchtime, Taimeiken was a festival of omelets.
Of course, since it is a shinise (a company with a long tradition, a store - translator's note) 'Taimeiken' founded in 1931, the taste of menchikatsu, beef croquettes, pork sauté, etc. are all trustworthy.
Omelette rice is a traditional dish made by wrapping ketchup rice with ham and onions in an egg and forming a beautiful spindle shape. You can then add as much ketchup as you like on top.
Meanwhile, dandelion omelet rice has a strong event-like feel.
Plain omelettes (omelets without fillings - translator's note) are lightly placed on top of ketchup rice with chicken, onions, mushrooms, and peas.
When you pop the dandelion omelet rice that is swaying bouncy with the tip of a spoon, a sticky, half-boiled egg flows out, which you then spread out by mercilessly pressing it up and down.
