I really like omelet rice. When he goes to a Western restaurant, he has a hard time deciding between the Neapolitan and omelet rice, which he likes equally. In addition to either of these, add a hamburger, minced meat cutlet, cream croquette, or fried shrimp on the side and you're perfect. Most of the time, especially women, I get nudged and told, ``You're eating too much!'' That may certainly be the case (lol).
First of all, I would like to mention omelet rice, which I do not eat, although this is just my personal preference.
What I don't like the most are the ones that have a lot of beef stew or white stew on the side of the omelet rice. This is Akan. The stew is so thick that it destroys the omelet rice. It's like fried rice with thick bean paste.
The second thing I don't like is the one where there's a thick omelet on top of omelet rice, and when you cut it with a knife, an avalanche of soft-boiled eggs proudly pops out (lol). Again, the egg was too strong and the chicken rice had no flavor at all. If there was any cheese in this omelet, it would be terrible. Please, please take better care of Omelet Rice. (In the tone of Zenitsu from Demon Slayer. Old!)
The third thing I will never eat is something that is stir-fried with chicken rice and egg. I don't know what's good about this. Speaking of my disappointment when I ordered it and it came out... I can't understand the mindset of a chef who does something like this.
As you may have already guessed, what I really love is the traditional chicken rice made with chicken (sometimes ham), onions, mushrooms, and ketchup, wrapped in a thin (though a little thicker) omelet. be. I didn't want the other supporting characters to interfere with the exquisite taste of the chicken rice. I think the thinly grilled egg is the perfect balance for this.
Why I think “Restaurant Komiya” is the pinnacle of Western food restaurants in Tokyo
Therefore, the first choice was ``Restaurant Komiya'' in Negishi, Taito Ward.
Founded in 14, this is a long-established Western food restaurant. There are several talented Western restaurants in Tokyo, but this one reigns at the top in terms of formality. After all, for service, both men and women wear black, cloth tablecloths are changed for each customer, and lithographs by Bernard Buffet and Leonard Fujita decorate the interior. The background music is modern jazz. The customers seem to be quite classy (though I don't really know).
The author first visited here over 35 years ago. She remembers that she had a strong desire to drink a bowl of cold Vichyssoise. Next, I chose asparagus for the salad and ate the famous minced meat cutlet and omelet rice. She was extremely impressed. She considered having dessert, but turned back and added a second round of vichyssoise and pork cutlet. I was young back then (lol). Maybe you're an idiot?
For me, it's a special store, a store that makes my spine grow taller. If the formality is at the top, the taste is also at the top of the best. It's great no matter what you eat. However, the service staff are extremely kind, so I don't need any sympathy.
First of all, let's get numb to the "consommé soup" that is not allowed outside the gate.
This time, the first thing I ordered was the warm "consommé soup." I don't care about this. Don't underestimate it as just brown juice. It takes a tremendous amount of time and effort to make, using beef bones (or bone-in chicken), a variety of vegetables, various herbs, and red or white wine. The recipe is kept private. A top-notch taste that can only be found at a top-class restaurant -- there is nothing more numbing than the finest consommé. The elegant and deep flavor stimulates your taste buds in all directions. Yes, it was great. I was amazed. We recommend.


The finest chicken rice is hidden inside the glossy fried egg.
This is the best omelette rice!
So, I'd like you to take a look at the all-important omelet rice. Well, isn't it beautiful? It would be a shame to break it down. When you make a slit in the glossy tamagoyaki, chicken rice appears. Chicken, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and green peas. What a perfect material. This is seasoned with ketchup, which is not too strong, and the rice grains are stir-fried to create a pilaf-like consistency. Each ingredient has a distinct flavor. This omelet rice is made with the main purpose of eating the finest chicken rice.
that is okay. It is important that the eggs do not uselessly assert themselves. It's also clean not to put ketchup on it. The rakkyo and fukujinzuke that were served as side dishes added another nice change to the taste buds.
Of course, I ate the ``hamburger steak'' before the omelet rice, but I think I'll probably talk about how great it was in the hamburger episode.

What makes this store special is that it is open from 11:30 a.m. It's full both day and night, and you can't get in without a reservation, so if you change the time, you'll be able to get in quickly. There are also fun things like Western bento boxes. In any case, there is no doubt that this is a restaurant where you will want to try out the entire menu.

What does "If you don't eat this, your life is ruined" mean?
Bassey, an editor with over 40 years of food-loving experience, is rumored to be a Reiwa-era Brillat-Savarin, or even the return of Furukawa Roppa, who rushes west and east to eat every time he hears there's something delicious to eat. A heart-wrenching gourmet essay.
Author profile
Bassey is a foodie who has been eating around for over 40 years. In addition to Japan, he regularly goes to Hong Kong to eat Chinese food at his own expense, and also travels to Taiwan, Singapore, Bangkok, and Seoul for delicious food. During his time as the editor-in-chief of a travel magazine, he visited many Michelin-rated restaurants around the world, especially in Europe, and later on in the World's Best 50 restaurants. We want everyone who loves food to try ``Crab Miso Bean Paste Noodles'' from ``Tenkorou'' (Hong Kong). Actually, I like the Chinese food at this restaurant the best in the world. Another example of the best Western food is "El Seger de Can Roca" from Girona, Spain, which was ranked number one on the World's Best 50 list. Ah, I want to go there again.
