In recent years, omurice has been getting a lot of attention, but all Western dishes are excellent. This time, I reserved Kobe beef steak after a long time. I also thoroughly enjoyed the conger eel and avocado with soy mayo sauce. And of course, we had omurice to finish! This time, three generations of us, grandparents, parents, and grandchildren, visited, and the grandchildren had omurice with ketchup while the adults had the classic demi-glace sauce, and everyone was very satisfied. Thank you for the delicious meal.

The restaurant Kichikichi became world-famous after a video of their incredible omelette rice skill went viral on social media. They catch eggs in mid-air and use them to complete the omelette rice, spinning them six times in the process. When there are two chefs, one catches the egg and the other cuts it open with a knife, resulting in a different texture. The flying method produces a thinner egg layer which I prefer. The performance is amazing, but the taste is just good, not mind-blowing. I wouldn't visit multiple times for the food, but it's definitely worth experiencing once due to its entertainment value.

I always wanted to visit a certain restaurant. My target was omurice. The location is about 4 minutes from Sanjo Station by crossing the Kamo River. Suddenly, I had to go to Kyoto for work, and since I didn't have a reservation, I checked the reservation methods and found out that I could do it by email or phone. I quickly sent an email on the day of the visit and received a polite reply saying that all reserved seats were full, but there were 6 slots available on the day itself starting 20 minutes before 12:00-13:00! It was a Saturday! Would it be impossible? No, let's go! I arrived 30 minutes before opening. Would there be a wait? Only one group was waiting! Could I get in? 6 slots? A staff member greeted me and upon hearing that I was Japanese, they let me in, as there was space in the 6 slots. I was handed the menu, and the omurice was priced at 2700 yen for regular size, 1400 yen for small size. Would the small size be enough? I was shown a sample of the regular size. I decided on the regular size! For those who eat less, the small size would be good. I ordered the soup as well. After the opening, I was shown to a seat inside. The counter seats were for reservations, and there were table seats at the back for around 6 people, possibly for walk-ins. As cancellations piled up, I was further upgraded to a center seat at the counter, what a lucky day! The chef, who was also the master, was a wonderful person who looked great with a smile. He explained the cooking performance as it started. There were 8 seats at the counter, and strangely there were 7 walk-in seats, with 3 Japanese including myself and the lady next to me. The rest were foreigners. I enjoyed watching the performance, and the eggs were incredibly beautiful! The chef explained that the eggs were seasoned only with salt. The regular size had 3 eggs. The final product was beautifully done, a delight for egg lovers. The demiglace sauce used for finishing was also delicious. The rice had a different color from ketchup chicken rice, but it was also tasty. The soup served at the beginning was corn soup with nuts! The nuts added a nice aroma. It was a fun experience enjoying the omurice, and it truly made me feel like a tourist today. The chef's smile was wonderful. It seems like he has lived a good life. I'd like to age gracefully like him. Next time, I might try the small size omurice and explore other food spots as well.

Kichikichi's omurice in Kyoto is a must-try! The popular spot is always fully booked, and even has the official Instagram mark. The demiglace sauce is sweet, bitter, and flavorful. Watching the omurice being made in front of you is entertaining and exciting. The omelette is fluffy and pairs perfectly with the special demiglace sauce. The chicken rice is seasoned with demiglace instead of ketchup, with edamame and crunchy onions adding a fresh touch. It's visually appealing and delicious. If you're in Kyoto, make sure to try this omurice. Happy omurice eating! And don't forget to make a reservation if you want to see the performance!

The concept of the restaurant is to make the world happy with omurice! I was impressed because I wanted to go after seeing it on TikTok. There are only 8 counter seats available, which are reservation-only, and table seats (shared seats) are available on the day of. I tried to make a reservation, but it was fully booked, so I lined up 20 minutes before opening to try for a same-day seat. A reservation holder didn't show up after 5 minutes, so it was canceled, and my friends and I who were at the front of the line got to sit at the counter. Lucky! The master explained while making omurice right in front of us, and you can even film the moment when he cuts it with a knife, a great service! It was amazing that explanations were given in English to foreign visitors. The slightly bitter demiglace sauce was light and went perfectly with the fluffy omelet. The ketchup on the cream omurice was homemade, and personally, I preferred the cream omurice. The service was divine, and we even took a photo together, making it a wonderful memory of our trip to Kansai. Items ordered (tax included): Kichi-Kichi Omurice 1,450 yen, with ketchup and special soy sauce. Cream Omurice 1,450 yen, both in half size.

♡[Kichi Kichi]♡ Kyoto❤︎‬‪Pontocho♡ Fluffy Upside-Down Omelette Rice Small Size ¥1,450♡Who would have thought that a small town Western-style restaurant in Kyoto's Pontocho would become the most famous omelette rice restaurant in the world...- ̗̀ ♡ ̖́-The restaurant I am introducing today is Kichi Kichi, quietly operating in Pontocho, Kyoto. The owner, Motokichi Yukimura, has gained immense popularity on social media for his omelette rice-making performance, with even a king from overseas making a special visit to the restaurant...ɞ̴̶̷ ̫ ɞ̴̶̷♡Kichi Kichi is now a fully reservation-only restaurant. They accept reservations online, so be sure to make a reservation online before visiting٩(¨ )ว You cannot enter the restaurant without a reservation, and the phone will not be answered during the performance (actually, a call came in on this day, but they couldn't answer due to the performance, haha). After making an online reservation, you will receive a confirmation email, which you will need to show upon entering the restaurant‪‪ꪔ̤̫‬ꪔ̤̱ꪔ̤̮ꪔ̤̥Be sure not to accidentally delete it and keep it safe until the reservation timeദ്ദി˶ｰ̀֊ｰ́ )✧I visited Kichi Kichi on a weekday around 7 p.m.ෆෆෆෆKichi Kichi sets reservation times every hour, so even if the previous customers leave early, you cannot sit at a vacant seat(ᐡ•́ ̫ •̥ᐡ) The email instructed to arrive 5 minutes before the reservation time, so I arrived at the restaurant exactly 5 minutes early(^-^)When I arrived at the restaurant 5 minutes before the reservation, I could hear the sound of something being cooked in a frying pan from inside the restaurant( ੭ ･ᴗ･ )੭♡I was seated in a perfect position, almost in the middle of the 8-seat counter on that day ( ˶ˊᵕˋ)੭♡The performance is better understood by watching the video rather than reading about it, so please watch the video.

This popular restaurant, known from TikTok and YouTube, is almost impossible to get into on the same day, so I made a reservation online in advance. The restaurant is called "Goshomin Kamata" and is a place I often visit in Kyoto. The owner happened to be a regular there, so he called ahead and made our visit a bit special. We ordered corn cream soup, truffle-flavored cheese cream croquette, half-size omelette rice, regular omelette rice, beer, and iced tea. The corn cream soup was cold and refreshing with a nice spicy kick. The truffle-flavored cheese cream croquette was surprisingly light and balanced. Then came the famous omelette rice, which was served with a light demi-glace sauce. It was delicious and easy to eat, even in the half-size portion. The owner, Kosonosuke, showed us how to make the omelette rice, which was fun to watch and participate in. We even sang and danced the "Omelette Rice Song" together. It was a unique and enjoyable dining experience at this restaurant, which is also popular among international visitors. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the famous restaurant "The Western Style Restaurant Kichi-Kichi" in Pontocho to try their renowned omurice. The chef's omurice is incredibly popular, and as soon as you enter the restaurant, you can see that photography is encouraged with smartphones provided at each table. When the cooking starts, everyone is captivated. The chef skillfully flips the frying pan and the omelette dances in the air, creating an entertaining cooking show. The omurice is fluffy and creamy, with a gentle and delicious flavor. I also ordered a side of tonkatsu, which was equally delicious. At the end, I took a photo with the chef who was humorous and posed multiple times when the camera was pointed at him.

Founded in 1978, this Western-style restaurant is famous for its omurice. Reservations are available through their website (walk-ins accepted on the day). They have videos on Netflix and YouTube. The signature dish is the fluffy upside-down omurice priced at 2700 yen, with an option to change the sauce for the same price. They also offer a daily special cream croquette for 1500 yen. I visited this restaurant during a gourmet expedition in Kyoto. I had been wanting to visit this place since my student days when their omurice videos were going viral, so I made a reservation about two weeks in advance. There is a cute pole with an omurice figure in front of the restaurant where people line up to wait for the opening. The clientele is on the younger side, with noticeable English signage, although there were no foreign customers due to the pandemic. The restaurant has counter seats and table seats. The highlight is the chef's cooking performance, which can be enjoyed by those sitting at the counter or standing at the table. It was amusing to see that smartphone stands were provided for everyone. Once all orders were taken, the cooking began. On that day, they made omurice for 11 people simultaneously. The performance of frying all the rice together was impressive, so make sure to watch it in front of you. The finishing touch of the egg is done in two ways: either by placing the omelette on top of the rice and cutting it with a knife, or by throwing the omelette from the frying pan and landing it on the plate in a flying manner. The craftsmanship is so amazing that it is sure to leave you impressed. The taste of the dish is somewhat reminiscent of fried rice, possibly due to the fragrant frying. The seasoning is more like what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant rather than a Western one. The ingredients include chicken, onions, shimeji mushrooms, and edamame. The fluffy egg, rich and fragrant rice, and bitter demiglace sauce were delicious. Towards the end, it may feel a bit heavy, so sharing two different sauces between two people, as I did, was the perfect choice. The omurice with a sauce change had soy sauce mayo instead of the original demiglace sauce. I kept the rice with the demiglace sauce based on the chef's recommendation. This turned out to be the right decision. The soy sauce mayo had a strong and unique flavor profile that was irresistible. While I loved the bitter demiglace sauce, the soy sauce mayo had a one-of-a-kind appeal, and I might even prefer it slightly! I recommend trying both sauces. The cream croquette of the day featured pork and nanohana (rape blossoms) with tomato sauce and soy cream sauce. Similar to the omurice with sauce change, the soy cream sauce had a distinct and addictive flavor. The croquette had a rich and flavorful filling, with a strong presence of minced pork, making it another unique and delicious dish. The omurice alone may seem pricey at 2700 yen, but if you consider it as paying for the performance as well, it seems reasonable. I took lots of videos and photos, making it a fun and delightful dinner experience.

I saw this restaurant on TikTok and really wanted to go, so I was lucky that they had an opening for dinner and I made a reservation! They put on a performance of making the omurice, which was really fun to watch from the counter seats. The fluffy omurice with fermented butter aroma and demiglace sauce was amazing! The ingredients were generously cut and the regular size portion was quite filling, but the refreshing demiglace sauce made it easy to finish. The taste was delicious, and the performance was entertaining, making it a highly satisfying dinner experience. If you're in Kyoto, be sure to check it out!

☆Recommended Points☆ ① The pinnacle of pakkun-style omurice ② Enjoyable time spent with the cheerful personality of Mr. Yukimura Motoyoshi [Photos 1-4] "Kichi-Kichi Omurice Regular (2,700 yen)" The signature dish of the renowned Kichi-Kichi, the omurice. While the usual choice is demi-glace sauce, this time we ordered the omurice with two types of sauce to enjoy - ketchup and special soy sauce cream sauce. The rice is prepared all at once for everyone, and on this day, 11 servings were cooked in one pan. It's quite a challenge to evenly season this amount of rice, but the skilled chef manages to pull it off effortlessly. The rice has a strong flavor similar to fried rice, without the use of ketchup. The ingredients include chicken, onions, mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, and edamame, with a generous amount of ingredients. The rice is seasoned with salt, pepper, and plenty of butter, giving it a buttery flavor at first, followed by a spicy kick from the pepper, making it enjoyable on its own. The omelette is perfectly half-cooked, with a creamy texture. Seasoned only with salt, but due to the ample use of butter in the rice, it is well-seasoned on its own. Moving on to the sauces, the standard demi-glace sauce is light and has a bitter, authentic taste, leaving a refreshing finish. The changed soy sauce cream sauce has a bold soy sauce flavor with a creamy aftertaste, perfectly balancing the flavors. Both sauces complement the richly seasoned rice without clashing. The omurice is designed with a focus on the omelette, rice, and sauces, each with its own unique qualities, showcasing the chef's exceptional skills. It's not just a performance, but a culmination of years of experience in making omurice, resulting in a dish that exudes unparalleled culinary expertise. [Photos 5-6] "Today's Cream Croquette (1,500 yen)" The cream croquette of the day was made with pork and nanohana (rape blossoms). Unlike the rich and heavy croquettes often found in Western restaurants, this one was light and refreshing. It was served with the soy sauce cream sauce used in the omurice and tomato sauce, which paired exceptionally well with the mildly flavored croquette, giving it a Kyoto-inspired touch. [Summary] The famous Kyoto Western restaurant "Kichi-Kichi" known for its beautiful pakkun-style omurice that took social media by storm. It's impossible to talk about this place without mentioning Mr. Yukimura Motoyoshi, who creates the omurice and entertains guests with his performance. The establishment itself has a long history, founded in 1978 and originally located in Uzumasa, before relocating to its current location in 2003. The buzz around the restaurant started about 14 years ago with cooking videos uploaded on YouTube, leading to the creation of the most-watched pakkun omurice in Japan. The dedication to maintaining the quality of their performance is evident, as the restaurant operates on a strict reservation-only basis. Reservations can be made through their official website. The performance is captivating, but the service, meticulous dishes, and overall professionalism of the owner truly make this restaurant stand out. It's not just about the spectacle, but the genuine passion and skill that have garnered international recognition. A must-visit for omurice and Western cuisine enthusiasts alike.

I went to that Western-style restaurant to try their omurice. The counter is reservation-only and starts all at once. I ordered the fluffy upside-down omurice regular portion and the kichikichi omurice. I also ordered soup. The chef confirmed everyone's orders and started making the omurice. They can make up to 9 portions of chicken rice in a frying pan at once, with the option of ketchup or demi-glace sauce. Next was the omelette, which they demonstrated three different techniques for cutting and serving. The chicken rice had a delicious aroma from the sautéed sauce and was filled with chicken, onions, shimeji mushrooms, and edamame. The fluffy egg was topped with plenty of demi-glace sauce. The chef was lively and entertaining while still working efficiently. As we left, the chef took photos with each customer before saying goodbye. It was nice to see smartphone holders on each table for easy video recording. The chef moved around a lot, so it was hard to keep them in the frame from the counter. (laughs)

I visited a popular Western-style restaurant in Kawaramachi today called The Western Restaurant Kichikichi. The owner performs while making the famous omurice right in front of you. The restaurant operates on a reservation basis, so I made a reservation in advance and headed to the restaurant. There are 8 counter seats and also table seats at the back. This time, I was seated at the counter. The omurice comes in "Regular" and "Small" sizes, and I was shown the actual rice mold that is used, making it easy to understand the size of the omurice. Reservations are for a 1-hour time slot. Once everyone has placed their orders, the owner starts a performance with a large frying pan. The Kichikichi Omurice (Regular) was amazing with its perfectly cooked egg. It was delicious when eaten with the demi-glace sauce! It contained large pieces of onions, chicken, shimeji mushrooms, and even edamame as a unique touch. The flavorful demi-glace sauce was really good! I finished it all in one go and felt full. The price for just the omurice is a bit high at 2,700 yen, but considering the performance fee included, it's not that expensive. It was an entertaining and enjoyable Western-style restaurant experience.

Food is now being combined with entertainment, and this restaurant is at the forefront of that trend. The owner, who is also a TikTok influencer, performed a show while making omurice. Even my 2-year-old son was delighted by the performance.

I love this restaurant so much that I've become friends with the owner and plan to go back next month! If you're planning to eat a lot, I recommend ordering the half-size omelette rice. The restaurant is small, with seating for about 8 people, so it's best to go with a small group or alone. If you're lucky enough to get a seat in the center, you can take a great picture like the one shown. As for the most important part - the taste - it's so delicious that words can't describe it. You must go and taste it for yourself. Oh, I really want to try the famous beef stew and tongue stew!

Located about a 5-minute walk from Sanjo Station, the visit rating for this restaurant is 3.39. The Cream Croquette of the day (1500 yen) and the Kichikichi Omurice R (2700 yen) were ordered on this first visit. Kichikichi Omurice is an omurice restaurant that operates on a complete reservation system. The reason for this is that people who use social media platforms such as TikTok may have seen the videos of the renowned omurice evangelist, Motoyoshi Yukimura, creating his fluffy and creamy omurice, which went viral. As a result, many omurice fans visit Kichikichi. One of the highlights of the experience is the performance, so they operate in shifts every hour. The omurice rice consists of chicken, onions, shimeji mushrooms, and edamame. The rice is flavored with butter according to Yukimura's secret recipe. The fluffy egg is cooked using a special omurice pan, for which they have obtained a patent. The egg oozes out from the inside when cut in front of you. The special demi-glace sauce is poured over the omurice, garnished with parsley, and served. The meticulously crafted omurice is not only visually appealing but also has a glossy yellow egg that arouses your appetite. The demi-glace sauce has a rich flavor but blends well with the egg and rice, creating a harmonious taste. As the phrase goes, "fun to watch, delicious to eat," the performance and taste are both top-notch. The Cream Croquette of the day was a Beef Cream Croquette, freshly fried and hot, making it a perfect side dish for the omurice. Lastly, a commemorative photo with Yukimura was taken. It was a delightful experience. Thank you for the meal. Please give it a try!

Omelette rice and the master's performance in making it are the specialties of this Western-style restaurant. I watched their performance on YouTube and decided to visit. I made a reservation through the restaurant's website and went on a weekend evening. Everyone was seated and started at the same time, with one-hour time slots for each group. The meal included: - Salad - Soup of the day - Kichikichi omelette rice - Beef tongue stew The famous Kichikichi omelette rice was priced at 2700 yen, which is quite expensive. Shortly after being seated, the master's cooking show began. He skillfully prepared chicken rice for 13 people all at once, putting on a show with various techniques like flipping omelettes onto the rice and making them open up (snap and crackle). The finished omelette rice was delicious, although I personally would have preferred a bit more ketchup. Overall, considering the price with the performance included, it was a memorable experience. The beef tongue stew, salad, and soup were also tasty. I later found out that this restaurant and the master's performance were featured in Season 1-6 of Netflix's "Waffles and Mochi" (the egg episode).

I visited the popular Western-style restaurant, Kichikichi-san. It's so popular that you can't get in without a reservation. When I visited, it was fully booked. The omurice comes in two sizes, small and regular. I chose the regular size, and it was quite a generous portion. I enjoyed my omurice at the counter seat. The owner's performance was really amazing. It was fun to watch and delicious to eat. In addition to omurice, there were many other menu items that looked really tasty.

I have been wanting to go to this restaurant since I saw it on Instagram, and the omurice I finally tried was amazing. It was even more delicious than I imagined, and I could really taste the quality! I devoured the omurice in an instant, haha. Today's cream croquette was also fantastic. Apparently, the filling changes daily, so it seems like you can always enjoy something new and fresh there! The owner's performance gave me energy and a smile. I will definitely go back to eat the omurice again! Thank you for the meal.

@kichikichi_omurice has been buzzing on social media for a while and I was curious to check it out. You can enjoy their incredibly fun cooking performance right in front of you at the counter seats. The moment they crack open the runny egg is irresistible! It's highly recommended for dates, so be sure to give it a try! Please note that it's reservation-only. Check out their Instagram @nozawayuta and TikTok @yuuta0104gurume.
