At this popular restaurant where there are sometimes lines forming at opening time, we made a reservation and visited. Even on this day, the restaurant was full right after opening. It's recommended to make a reservation if you want to be sure to get in. For lunch, there are daily specials that offer good value, but today we came specifically to try the omurice. The special sauce for the omurice is unique, a combination of Worcestershire sauce and ketchup perhaps... quite a distinctive flavor. The first time I tried it, my initial impression was "okonomiyaki sauce" so... I've been calling it "omurice with okonomiyaki-style sauce" ever since. (Of course, I don't say this out loud at the restaurant...) The lunch set includes a salad first, followed by the main dish, and a drink after the meal. On this day, I chose iced coffee, but the hot coffee is also delicious. By the way, you can also order the omurice as a standalone dish. Despite my quirky name for it, the omurice has a mysteriously delicious taste that makes me crave it from time to time. I'll attach a photo of the daily special lunch and hot coffee that I had two months ago for reference. *There are 6 parking spaces available next to the restaurant. (The parking area has recently been expanded)

We visited the restaurant for lunch as a party of two. It was fully booked, so we were glad we made a reservation. We ordered the steak lunch and the daily special lunch. The meat was tender and the sauce was delicious. The highlight was the tasty shrimp fry in the daily special, especially the tartar sauce was so good that we were very satisfied. We would like to try going there at night next time.

Daily lunch special for 1,400 yen including tax. The Kyoto pork steak and shrimp fry fish fry tartare are delicious! The pork is easily cut, tender, and so tasty. Parking available with space for 7 cars next to the building. Plenty of seating inside. The building is long and spacious.

I went to Sanjusangendo Temple to see the hydrangeas. I hadn't decided on lunch, so I wandered around. Whenever I come to this area, I always stop by this restaurant. Their omelette rice is amazing! The eggs are soft and the chicken rice is delicious. The sauce is tasty. The daily lunch special is also delicious! The menu varies by day, but the hamburger was delicious. It comes with coffee, and the cost performance is good and very helpful.

Today, I went to Musshu Flypan in Yamashina, Kyoto. I found a visually appealing omurice on Instagram that tickled the emotions of those who love Western food. Upon researching, I discovered that it is a Western food restaurant in Yamashina with a Foodlog rating of 3.56! I had to go check it out. Reservations are only accepted until 12:30, but I arrived at 12:00, and of course, it was full. However, I didn't give up and waited in front of the restaurant for about 30 minutes. It was a hot day, and I must have looked like an Akita dog with my face all sweaty, so a kind staff member let me sit at the counter. Persistence pays off! Other customers without reservations also came but ended up leaving. The "Omurice Lunch" that I had been curious about was ordered. It came with a salad appetizer and a drink for after the meal. When it arrived, my excitement was through the roof. The presentation of the omurice was outstanding! The sauce was poured in a way that was impressive, almost perfectly even. The classic wrapped style of omurice has a nostalgic charm to it. The fluffy egg was thin but not flimsy, and the chicken rice inside was delicious with a perfect balance of flavors. The sauce, which I believe was demi-glace, was not too rich and had a sweet taste that paired excellently with the egg and chicken rice. It was so good that I couldn't help but devour it. The taste was top-notch! The restaurant has counter and table seating with a spacious layout, but it fills up quickly during lunch hours. I recommend making a reservation. The clientele seemed to be families and mothers, and of course, the guy sitting next to me. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I stopped by before visiting Zuishin-in. The parking lot used to be very difficult to park in, but it has become wider and easier to park with more spaces. I ordered the daily lunch special (my partner ordered the omelette rice lunch). Today's daily special was pork steak and shrimp, white fish fry. I had shrimp fry at "Matsunoya" yesterday and thought it was delicious, but the shrimp fry at this popular Western-style restaurant is in a league of its own! It was delicious with a satisfying taste. Even the potatoes and carrots on the side were all delicious.

Today, the weather is beautiful again, so I decided to head to Mimosuso Temple this time aiming for the azaleas. On the way, I stopped by here for lunch, which I haven't tried in a while. The parking lot has expanded, now accommodating up to 7 cars, which is convenient. I ordered the steak lunch from the menu, which I haven't tried yet. I was worried it might be too heavy for lunch, but the steak with a tangy sauce and thin slices of meat made it feel light even for lunch. I quickly finished it and settled my stomach with a coffee after the meal. Now, I hope the azaleas are in full bloom at Mimosuso Temple as I head there.

I heard about a delicious Western-style restaurant in Yamashina, so I made a reservation over the phone in the morning. When I entered the restaurant, all the seats were full, so making a reservation was definitely the right choice. I ordered the specialty omurice. The ketchup rice, with shimeji mushrooms, chicken, and onions, had a perfect flavor balance. The egg wrapping was not too fluffy or thin, but had a gentle softness. The demi-glace sauce was slightly sweet and paired exceptionally well with the omurice. The omurice set also came with a salad and a drink. They even offer a large portion option! The daily lunch specials also looked delicious and filling.

A local favorite Western-style restaurant. Within 10 minutes of opening, all seats are filled. I had the hamburger lunch set. The side dishes for the hamburger were luxurious. Warm potato salad, carrot glaze, boiled broccoli, and omelette. The carrot glaze was quite sweet, but everything else had mild seasoning. Perhaps it was adjusted to balance the strong flavor of the hamburger? When I cut into the hamburger, clear juices oozed out, it was just right. The sauce seemed to be a soy sauce-based one, a taste I'm not familiar with. The hamburger seemed to go well with rice. The daily fried dish menu also looked delicious.

Today was the perfect day for omurice. I had some errands to run in Yamashina, so I chose this place. There is a garage next to the restaurant, so it's safe to drive there. Of course, I ordered the omurice lunch set! I started with a salad, the croutons were crispy and the dressing was good. As for the omurice, the sauce was tonkatsu sauce...I think? It didn't quite match my mood that day. Inside the rice, there was some fatty meat? Tempura bits? It felt more like soba rice in a way. I finished with an iced coffee before leaving. I don't dislike it, but it didn't really feel like I had eaten omurice. I don't hate it, but I guess personal preferences come into play.

I wanted to eat Western food, so I searched and made a reservation for 12:00 on the day of my visit. The restaurant was quite spacious but almost full. There were mostly older ladies and couples as customers. I ordered the hamburger lunch for 1,400 yen. First of all, I was surprised by the amount of salad! A proper salad! This made me happy. Many restaurants serve just a small amount of salad with their lunch sets, so it was nice to see a full plate of salad. The homemade hamburger was cooked to perfection and delicious! The carrots were also very tasty! The rice portion was generous, and I left feeling very satisfied. By the time I left the restaurant, there were already customers waiting outside. It's no wonder this place is popular. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I discovered a highly rated Western-style restaurant in Yamashina. The exterior looks like a normal house, so I almost drove past it at first. However, the interior is chic and clean, and the service is polite, making it a pleasant place to dine. I'm not a big fan of cheese fondue since trying it in Switzerland, but I decided to try it here because the course was a good deal. The salad was piled high with fresh vegetables, and the cheese fondue, although not my favorite, was rich and you could taste the strong flavors of cheese and white wine. The meat dishes and pasta that followed were also delicious and satisfying. I left feeling very content and wanting to come back to try more dishes.

On Sunday at 12 o'clock, I visited the restaurant after making a phone reservation the day before. There are 7 parking spaces, and we were the last car to park. There was a sign in front of the restaurant saying "Today we are open for reservations only," so we were lucky to have made a reservation. We were seated at a table towards the back with a bit more space. I ordered the daily special and my friend ordered the omurice from the lunch menu. First, we had salad which was piled high with vegetables and had a delicious tangy dressing. My daily special included hamburger, shrimp fry, white fish fry, and Spanish omelette - a classic Western menu that got me excited. The hamburger was fluffy and the sauce was tasty. The fried items were crispy and delicious, especially with plenty of tartar sauce. I'm not a fan of mayo alone, but I love tartar sauce. The cheesy baked potato on the side added to the generous portion, but I managed to finish all the rice too! I also tried the omurice, and the ketchup rice inside was delicious! It had large chunks of chicken, plenty of onions, and shimeji mushrooms. The egg had a rich buttery flavor, making it a luxurious dish. The sauce, a mix of ketchup and another sauce, was not overpowering and had a refreshing taste. When we left around 1:30 p.m., the restaurant was still full, so I recommend making a reservation. The dinner menu written on the blackboard looked delicious too. They even have cheese fondue. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

It was a delicious and very pleasant restaurant. I finally went to Monsieur Fripant, a place I had wanted to visit for a while. As I had seen on Tabelog and other websites, the popular choice is the omurice. I was thinking of ordering the omurice, but I couldn't help but be curious about the daily special being carried to other tables. So this time, I ordered the daily special. It included hamburger, quiche, shrimp fry, white fish fry, German potato, salad, and a drink after the meal, all for 1300 yen. The fry comes with a special tartar sauce. All this for the price is a great deal. Everything was delicious and I finished it in no time. I also want to try the steak and omurice. It was a great restaurant.

I had been coming here a few times just for the omurice lunch, but today I decided to try the daily special lunch. It included white fish fry, shrimp fry, and hamburger. Of course, with rice. First, I had a salad which sparked my appetite. The waiting time for the lunch was long, so I drank water to cool down my appetite. Finally, the lunch arrived and it looked like a kid's meal for adults. The taste was simple and delicious, highlighting the flavors of the ingredients. Although there were no major flaws, I decided that next time I will stick to my usual omurice lunch.

Sunday 11:36 I visited Monsieur Flypan for the first time. There are about 4 parking spaces available, but it's a bit challenging as they are parallel parking. The sign says they open at 11:45, so I wait for a bit. There were two groups of customers ahead of me. There are 2 table seats and about 6 counter seats. There are more seats in the back, but they seemed to be reserved. The restaurant quickly filled up with reservations as soon as they opened. The customers were mostly families and seniors, which was quite noticeable. At 11:48, we placed our orders: Daily special for 1,300 yen, Omelette rice for 1,300 yen, and my daughter chose Salad bread or rice with coffee, tea, or orange juice. The kitchen had one chef and two female staff members in the front. At 12:00, the salad arrived. It was a refreshing salad with plenty of vegetables and a tangy vinaigrette dressing. At 12:16, the omelette rice arrived. It had a unique sauce with a fragrant aroma. The acidity of the sauce paired well with the buttery rice inside, and my daughter, who loves omelette rice, enjoyed it a lot. At 12:20, the daily special arrived. It consisted of pork sauté, shrimp fry, white fish fry, quiche, and salad, a generous and visually appealing dish. They offered butter for the bread at an additional cost of 30 yen, but I decided to skip it as I had a heavy meal the night before. The crispy French bread was delicious. Personally, I think the daily special was the better choice, but my daughter was delighted to enjoy her favorite omelette rice. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

This week's day off was spent visiting temples in Kyoto! We visited "Komyo-ji" to see the hidden Buddha statue, "Bishamon-do" to enjoy the autumn leaves, and "Daigo-ji" to see the first floor of the five-story pagoda. On the way from Bishamon-do to Daigo-ji, we had lunch at a highly recommended Western restaurant in Yamashina that we found online the day before. The restaurant was called "Monsieur Frying Pan." The lunch menu had four options, and we ordered the daily special lunch and the omurice lunch. The portions were surprisingly large, starting with a salad. The daily special lunch included Kyoto pork, shrimp fry, fish fry, Spanish omelette, side vegetables, mashed potatoes, and tartar sauce. The shrimp fry was particularly large and delicious. The omurice was topped with sauce instead of the usual ketchup, giving it a taste similar to okonomiyaki. It was filled with mushrooms and chicken, making it incredibly delicious. My wife loved it, and I also tried some. It was really delicious, and I would definitely order it again. The lunch came with a hot coffee for each of us, and we left the restaurant very satisfied. If given the chance, we would love to eat here again next time!
