About 8 years ago, I used to work at Osaka Port when I was 24 or 25 years old, and I often visited a restaurant there. Today, when I went there, I found out that it had closed down, so I decided to go to Beehive instead. To my surprise, I discovered a new restaurant with an ocean view. Of course, I ordered the nostalgic omurice with a large portion. The menu and the restaurant had changed a bit, but I enjoyed the delicious omurice. It came with soup, salad, and fried chicken as well. It was a lucky day. The old tomato and egg salad seemed to be missing.

It's been a while, but I went to Tsukishima to eat omurice, passing through Minato through Nanko and through the Sakasu underwater tunnel to Tsukishima. I hadn't been through this tunnel for a while, but I was surprised to find that the toll booth was gone and it was now free. I parked my car in a nearby parking lot and walked to the restaurant. According to Tabelog, it was supposed to open at 11:00, but when I arrived, it said it would open from 11:30. I updated the basic information on Tabelog. I was seated at the counter in the restaurant. I ordered the omurice for 850 yen and a small salad for 600 yen. The omurice came with pickled vegetables and potato salad on the side. I asked for a regular size, but the ketchup rice was large and wrapped in a thick layer of egg. However, the egg seemed a bit thin, possibly due to the effects of avian influenza. The salad came out on a full plate, so I had to be careful not to spill it. The salad also gave the impression that the egg was more mixed in, but I imagined this might be due to the high cost of eggs. Nevertheless, the shape and atmosphere remained the same. By the time I finished eating, it was close to lunchtime, and there were many customers waiting to be seated. Originally, Oshion View is a restaurant on the second floor of this building, but there was a notice saying that they were temporarily operating on the first floor. They also serve Japanese food on the first floor, so you can also enjoy the menu from the Japanese restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

This is a well-known Western-style restaurant in the neighboring area of Osaka Port, just one station away from my Sakusen. Along with Beehive, it is a famous restaurant in the area. When I arrived at the restaurant, it seemed that for a while, the first floor was jointly operated with a Japanese restaurant, even though the actual restaurant is on the second floor. The menu includes sets like Omurice with fried chicken, Set B with kushikatsu, beef curry, ladies' lunch, daily specials, and of course, you can also enjoy the lunch menu of the Japanese restaurant. I ordered the symbolic Omurice from the lunch menu, which is the A set from Ocean View. In about 7 minutes, the soup arrived, followed by the Omurice. The soup was potage, with a creamy texture and delicate taste. The Omurice was like a classic Showa-era dish, neatly rolled without any burnt spots. It had a fluffy texture inside and was skillfully made. The rice was a nostalgic type of ketchup rice, moist and delicious. The side of fried chicken was crispy and well-seasoned, fried in a Munich-style with a mix of wheat flour and potato starch. Normally, you can enjoy the view of the sea while dining, but due to the current situation, that was not possible. I would like to visit again for more Western-style dining experiences in Osaka Port. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I changed the rice to fried rice for an additional 50 yen in the Omurice Set for 1,000 yen. I was able to enjoy home-cooked Omurice. The soup was delicious. There was a packet of Kagome tomato ketchup in a bag, so I wrote "Osaka" as a memory of coming to Osaka. It was crowded during lunchtime, with many salarymen. It felt like the place was loved by the elderly locals. I'm curious about the daily special set, so I'll try that next time I come. There is no parking lot, but there are many coin parking lots nearby, so I parked at a cheap one for 220 yen. They accept PayPay.

When I looked it up, it was closed, but then it reopened. I had visited before it closed, and it was different in terms of location and atmosphere. I remember the mega-sized dish called "Macra" and the currency exchange booth inside the store. Macra is still available as a secret menu item. This time, I ordered the large serving of omurice, and it looks and tastes just like it did in the past. There used to be long lines, but now it's not as crowded, and I could easily get a table.

Delicious omurice! Traditional omurice! I heard about a ridiculously huge size called "makura" and went to try it, but I wasn't confident I could finish it, so I ordered the large size instead. It took about 10 minutes after ordering, a bit slow. However, the taste was simple and delicious! The eggs were a bit firm, and the chicken rice was really simple with green peppers and onions. For food fighters, I recommend trying the "makura" size! When I went, one of the Japanese restaurants had been absorbed by the main restaurant, and the customers were mostly middle-aged.

Today, before heading to Minato Port for errands, I came to "Ocean View" here! I haven't been here since the old store, so I'm looking forward to revisiting! I ordered the omurice lunch set! It's a traditional omurice, but delicious! They also have a jumbo size option!

I went to the famous restaurant Oshon View, known for their omurice with fried chicken "Omurice Set A" and omurice with kushikatsu "Omurice Set B"! I ordered the "Omurice Set B"! The fluffy omurice with plenty of egg was delicious! The kushikatsu was unexpectedly tasty too! I couldn't help but wonder why the restaurant is called "Oshon" instead of "Ocean"...but regardless, the omurice was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

I felt like eating Omu-rice at Ocean View, so I took the Osaka Metro Yotsubashi Line, Newtram, and Osaka Metro Chuo Line to Osaka Port. Last time I went, I had it on the second floor, but today I had it at the Japanese restaurant on the first floor. I imagine it's due to the influence of the coronavirus. I ordered Omu-rice and a small salad. Since it had been a while since my last visit, the Omu-rice felt a bit smaller this time. However, the egg wrapping the Omu-rice was soft, fluffy, and thickly cooked, just like the usual taste. The salad was also delicious. Both the Omu-rice and the salad are my favorite flavors in Osaka. Today, the menu also listed kushikatsu and tamagoyaki, so I also ordered takeout for dinner. I plan to enjoy Ocean View's flavors tonight as well. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. The previous location of the restaurant had a currency exchange corner, which fit the port town atmosphere, but the new store is bright, clean, and spacious. It has improved a lot.

I went to this restaurant after the Nemophila Festival. The weather was great on Wednesday at 12:40, with about 70% of the tables occupied. I came with the image of a Western-style restaurant because their omelette rice is their specialty, but the interior was more like a Japanese-style restaurant. It seems that they are combining the first-floor branch with the second-floor store, probably because they are not busy. - Omelette Rice (Large) ¥1000 There is a secret menu item called "Makura," which is a 1kg omelette rice, but I ordered the large size since I had a restaurant reservation for dinner. It arrived shortly. Well, it was not particularly delicious, just a normal omelette rice that you can easily gulp down. I wish the waiter was a bit more friendly and smiled. The kitchen staff who brought out the dish had a better attitude.

It is a longstanding restaurant in Osaka Port that is well-known by everyone. While their omurice is famous, most people talk about its size rather than its taste. It used to be located in a not-so-clean building a short walk from Osaka Port Station, but it has since moved twice and become much cleaner. The interior of the restaurant is too quiet, with the sound of spoons and plates clinking around. The omurice is famous for its large portion, although the inside is standard. The portion size increases significantly with the larger option. Additionally, there is a secret menu item called "makura" that weighs about 1 kilogram. The taste is simple but satisfying, with creamy eggs and minimally seasoned rice. Even the medium size is filling. The slightly garlicky potato salad that comes with it is also delicious. The change in the restaurant's atmosphere means that you can no longer feel the history of Osaka Port, but I hope they continue to liven up the area in the future. Thank you for the meal!

December has arrived, and following last month's roast beef bowl series, we are starting a new series featuring egg dishes - egg sandwiches and omurice. This series will run parallel to the GoTo Government Cafeteria reviews. Today's focus is on the "jumbo" omurice. The other day, we featured a grilled omurice, which was popular in Osaka. Today, we are highlighting "Ocean View" in Osaka Port, a restaurant known for its omurice and curry. While the menu only lists omurice up to the large size, there is actually an even bigger option available - the Omurice Pillow for 1200 yen. It's truly massive, and although I finished it in about 6 minutes, it was quite a challenge.

Today's lunch was at OceanView in Osaka Port, Osaka. It's been a while since I visited Osaka Port. It's about a 15-minute drive from Honmachi, and it's a somewhat laid-back town. There used to be a lot of foreign tourists, especially before the pandemic, because of the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan. I ordered the omurice, which came in three sizes: small (700 yen), medium (750 yen), and large (900 yen). The menu advised to eat it as is without adding anything, so I ordered as instructed. The omurice looked beautiful when it arrived, and it had a classic Western restaurant feel to it. One unique feature was that there was no ketchup on top, but you could request it if you wanted. I decided to add a little ketchup and it was delicious. The texture of the omelette was amazing, it melted in my mouth. The butter, eggs, and cooking were all done perfectly. The ketchup rice was also just right, not too overpowering. The pickled cabbage and potato salad served as sides were a nice touch. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. The restaurant was relatively new and located on the second floor. According to the staff, it had moved from a different location. Here are the restaurant details: OceanView, 4-2-5 Tsukiko, Minato-ku, Osaka 552-0021, Tel: 06-6571-2074, Hours: 11:00-15:00, Closed on Sundays and holidays.

There is a famous Western-style restaurant located just a few minutes' walk from Osaka Metro Osaka Port Station in Chikko, Minato Ward, Osaka City, known for its delicious omurice. The restaurant used to be located along the main street in Chikko, but I recently found out that it has relocated to a new store. The new store is on the second floor in a completely different location, and the interior is spacious. The menu features the specialty omurice in three sizes: small for 700 yen, medium for 750 yen, and large for 900 yen. Additionally, there is a larger size called "Makura" for 1,200 yen. I ordered the Makura omurice, and it was served on a large round plate, with a huge circular omurice on top. The 1kg portion of ketchup rice topped with fluffy thick egg was a sight to behold, and the taste was delicious. The classic yet high-quality ketchup rice paired perfectly with the fluffy egg. Not only is the size impressive, but the quality of the omurice is also top-notch.

I visited the newly renovated restaurant for the first time. It has moved to a street one block from Chuo Dori, closer to the Kaiyukan. The restaurant is now located on the second floor of a building and has a completely different atmosphere, resembling a stylish dining place. I had the Omu Rice set for 750 yen and a small salad for 500 yen. The ketchup was served in a container for self-service. The omelette surrounding the fried rice was thick, which I personally liked. The salad had a nice texture from the celery and a good flavor from the tuna. The Omu Rice set also came with potato salad, cabbage, and carrot pickles. It was delicious, and I decided to get the same set for dinner as a takeout – Omu Rice set for 1200 yen and a large salad for 800 yen. Both meals were great, and I highly recommend Ocean View restaurant for a pleasant dining experience.

■Omurice (Pillow) 1200 yen ・ Located about 2-3 minutes walk from Osaka Metro Osaka Port Station towards Kaiyukan, this is a specialty omurice restaurant. ・ The omurice menu ranges from small to large as regular items, with a hidden menu item called "Makura". ・ The interior of the restaurant is clean, with several 4-person tables. This was my first visit since they relocated. I used to visit the previous location multiple times, but it has been quite a while. Of course, I ordered the "Makura". The simple ketchup rice with onions and ham, topped with fluffy and creamy eggs, is incredibly delicious. (Although with this amount, you might get a bit tired of it halfway through) It seems like the portion size has decreased slightly compared to before, but it was still quite a generous serving. I enjoyed it all in one go. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal♪

I took the Osaka Metro Chuo Line and headed towards Osaka Port... When coming to this area, you just have to try the omurice, right? I've tried several times before, but I've been rejected every time for the past 3 years. Finally, the time has come. "Ocean View" is a famous restaurant known for its giant omurice called "makura". For more details, visit their website here: https://tabelog.com/imgview/original?id=r7846317502767. The old location of the restaurant used to be closed on weekends and holidays, making it difficult for me to visit even after taking a day off on weekdays. However, this time I heard that they are open on Saturdays, so I decided to visit. The new restaurant was located on the second floor of a building with a restaurant on the first floor. Climbing the stairs leading to the entrance on the second floor, I felt a bit uneasy as there was no typical restaurant atmosphere. When I entered, the spacious interior resembled a hotel cafe. There were only about two other customers, so I was free to choose any seat and I chose a table near the entrance. Looking at the menu, they only served omurice and curry, keeping it simple. In the past, during my chubby days, I would have definitely ordered the "makura" (large omurice), but this time I verbally ordered the regular salad set. The food arrived in about 5 minutes: Omurice Regular Mini Salad Set for 950 yen. Haha, even the regular size is quite big! The omurice was shaped like a plump caterpillar, with the egg not fully covering the rice (lol). It seemed like the Ocean View style was to pour the tomato sauce provided separately over the omurice. First, I tried the salad before the rice... The salad was a mix of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, celery, and egg tossed in French dressing. It was refreshing and delicious! After eating about half of the salad, it was time for the omurice! I split it open with a spoon, revealing a simple ketchup rice with ham and onions inside. I tried it as it is first, and the ketchup was mild with a hint of buttery flavor. The egg was not the trendy runny style but a nostalgic firm finish! Then, I piled on the tomato sauce provided separately! The sauce was a mildly sweet ketchup that paired well with the firm egg. The potato salad on the side had a very mild seasoning, almost like mashed potatoes. However, the flavorless potato didn't interfere with the omurice, but instead complemented it. I took my time and enjoyed it for about 15 minutes. It felt good to have my stomach filled with rice after a long time. Ah, I used to eat rice like this at every meal before (lol). I paid at the cash register approved by the Ministry of Finance, which has been inherited from the previous location. The elegant and friendly service by the mature female staff was also great. If I have the opportunity to come here again, I would like to try the "makura" next time. But, maybe I won't be able to fit in anymore (lol). Thank you for the delicious meal. Thank you.

In my 20s, I used to occasionally visit a restaurant near Asashio Bridge, when my office was located in that area. The restaurant was on the opposite side, with a quaint old storefront. In the past, the only way to get to Minato Port on the other side was by subway, so there was a sense of isolation, but now that it's more accessible, the flow of the city has changed. I had only ever eaten omurice there before, but this time I went with a colleague from my previous job and tried the salad for the first time. So, I ordered a set with omurice and salad. There was also soup included. Looking at the portion, I thought it might be a bit much, and indeed, it was quite filling. In the past, I could finish it all quickly, but now, maybe due to age, or maybe because the salad filled me up, I struggled to finish it all. The salad arrived first, with lots of sweet dressing on the lettuce, making it quite soggy. The best part was that there was a separate dish of ketchup, so you could add as much as you wanted. Oh, it was too much, I'm so full. I remember there used to be a long line to get in, but this time it was empty. The restaurant has been renovated and lost some of its old charm, but the smell coming from the kitchen still brought back good memories. Thank you for the meal. I'm glad to see that even though the restaurant has changed, the taste seems to have been preserved.

This is my second visit since moving next to Beehive. Sometimes I just crave their simple omurice. The balance between the egg and rice is perfect. The rice is the standout feature, with finely chopped ham and vegetables mixed in, maybe onions or celery? The flavor is deep, with a good amount of butter. You don't need ketchup to enjoy the complex taste.

I finally found it, "Ocean View," located a bit away from the previous shop. Moreover, the fact that the "Ministry of Finance approved" counter seemed to be using the one from the previous shop made me very happy. I had been looking forward to this shop, boasting to be the number one in Kansai for omurice. However, with the change in the shop, the chef also seemed to have changed, or perhaps it was because I drank too much alcohol yesterday and ate ramen for the finale, my stomach felt a bit off. Nevertheless, I could still feel traces of the past in the way the eggs were cooked and the generous use of eggs in the flavor. The exquisite combination with ketchup rice was enjoyable. I started with a salad, and the homemade dressing was just amazing, with a nostalgic vinegar taste and the celery in the salad enhancing the vegetable flavors. The omurice was eaten initially without ketchup, savoring the exquisite taste of the egg and ketchup rice. The rice was a bit on the firm side, providing a satisfying chewing sensation and allowing the flavors to shine. They brought extra ketchup along with the water when I entered, and adding a bit more ketchup made the flavors blend even more as I enjoyed the meal. This shop's omurice is truly a simple dish that sticks to the basics. It's a matter of personal preference, but I would like to try this shop's omurice again, even though not as much as before. This time I ordered the regular size, but I think the small size would allow me to enjoy the flavors even more, so I plan to try that next time. I've been curious about their curry rice as well, so I look forward to trying that too. Today was the perfect birthday lunch.
