Pochi Pochi
As a child, the seasoning container on the dining table contained soy sauce, sauce, vinegar, etc. It is said that most people from Osaka put sauce on almost everything, but I always used soy sauce. Even for fried foods like tonkatsu, I would use soy sauce. As I grew up, I had a memorable experience at a tempura restaurant in Kitashinchi where they fried shrimp in front of me and told me to enjoy it with salt. This experience was unforgettable. I accumulated experiences of adding salt and pepper to dishes like tonkatsu, steak, and even tempura. Recently, I have become more luxurious and started using all the available seasonings to taste each piece of tonkatsu differently. Osaka Ohsho recently released a limited-time menu item, sauce fried rice. I was initially skeptical about using sauce on fried rice instead of soy sauce, but after reading many positive comments on various blogs, I decided to try it out at Osaka Ohsho.
Upon arriving at Osaka Ohsho, I found that some franchise locations did not offer the limited-time menu items despite the extensive promotion. I suspect that this may be due to the franchise locations lacking the capability to provide such items. However, I was relieved to find that the Osaka Ohsho in Umeda offered the sauce fried rice. I ordered the sauce fried rice for 730 yen and was greeted by a nostalgic aroma of sauce when it arrived. The fried rice had toppings such as tempura shrimp, narutomaki, red sausages, and green peas. The tempura shrimp was delicious even with sauce, and there were surprisingly many green peas. The absence of meat in the toppings reminded me of the times when I used substitutes like narutomaki. Overall, the sauce fried rice was a satisfying dish with a unique combination of flavors.
Osaka Ohsho's limited-time menu item, the "Absolute Crisis Sauce Fried Rice," is available from April 28th to June 12th, 2022. It features a flavorful fried rice with large-cut onions, Worcestershire sauce aroma, and various toppings such as narutomaki, red sausages, green peas, and plump shrimp. The dish is hearty and addictive. Osaka Ohsho's marketing strategy for this menu item was amusing, and the dish itself was a unique and enjoyable experience.
