The Best Omurice (Omelet Rice) In Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe
Omurice is a Japanese dish that I personally consider as one of the best comfort food of all time. Omu is short for omelet and rice is, you guessed it, rice. But omurice is not just egg on rice, it is way more complex than that. The rice is usually cooked with butter or tomato sauce, and the omelet is usually extremely soft, fluffy, and buttery.
The best part is when you use your knife to softly cut the top part of the omelet and it breaks open so beautifully and perfectly that you just want to cry.
Omurice is usually glazed with different types of delicious sauce from cream sauce, demiglace sauce, to curry sauce. It is one of those dishes that even the pickiest eater will enjoy. Nothing can go wrong with omurice.
If you are craving some omurice, you have come to the right place because this is a collection of the best omurice in Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe for you to try when you travel to Kansai and visit the area.

Sabo Chik Tak

This is a cafe that was built in the Arima Hot Spring district and was formerly a 100-year-or-so old house before renovation. The nostalgic pinball machines inside give it a groovy, vintage vibe. Their specialty is “Arima Yakuzen (medical herbs) Curry” (1300 yen) which includes hawthorn, goji berry, Asian ginseng and hakkoku rice (rice mixed with eight types of grains). Another popular dish is the Omurice, which is extremely soft and creamy and is made from using eggs laid by chickens grazed in nearby farms. It is topped with homemade demiglace sauce that goes so well with the tangy sweet taste of onion.
