I went into a building to look for a book around 1:30pm and decided to check out a café inside since I was feeling hungry. I had no prior knowledge about the café, but the atmosphere was relaxed as the lunch rush had passed. I ordered the recommended Hayashi rice set, not knowing that the café was known for being the birthplace of Hayashi rice. I was pleasantly surprised by the ham salad that was served first, with its fresh vegetables and ham. The Hayashi rice was served next, with both beef and pork options, each cooked to perfection. The flavors blended beautifully, and I even mixed the two types together to enjoy the combination. The meal ended with a delicious Mont Blanc cake. Overall, I left the café feeling satisfied and impressed by the quality of the food.

Premium Hayashi Rice at Beef Premium Hayashi Rice for 1,580 yen. The restaurant, located inside Maruzen, emphasizes its origins as the birthplace of Hayashi Rice. I ordered the premium standard dish, which was elegantly presented. In general, Hayashi Rice and Curry Rice should not be poorly made, so the key is to exceed the average by adding unique touches. Hmm, it was just delicious. Just normal. If I had to point out a feature, it would be the thinly sliced beef that was tender. For men, the portion may seem small, giving off a tourist trap vibe due to the price paid.

The original Hayashi Rice restaurant is Maruzen (Nihonbashi), but you can also enjoy the same taste at this affiliated store. I ordered the Hayashi Omurice (1580 yen). The demi-glace sauce has a nice acidity and goes well with the fluffy egg, making it delicious. I wish the price was a bit lower and the portion was larger so I could visit more often. However, considering that Western food tends to be more expensive and the location, it may be inevitable.

Maruzen Marunouchi. I found what I was looking for and decided to head back when I thought, why not have some Hayashi for lunch at M&C Cafe. It's not too crowded, with a decent number of customers. I was seated near the entrance, so there was no view. The Hayashi menu includes Hayashi Rice, Hayashi Omurice, Cheese Omu Hayashi Rice, Keema Hayashi Rice, Steak Hayashi Rice, and more. There are plenty of options available. I decided to go for the Hayashi Special Set @2,500 yen (tax included) as it seemed like a better deal compared to ordering items separately. The set included Pork Hayashi & Premium Hayashi Rice, a side of Parma Ham Salad, a choice of cake, and a drink. I chose the Orange Mousse Cake and an Iced Coffee. The Parma Ham Salad was served promptly, with a mix of lettuce, shredded cabbage, carrots, and mizuna topped with delicious Parma ham. The ham had just the right amount of saltiness and was tender. Next came the Pork Hayashi & Premium Hayashi Rice. The rice was shaped like a rugby ball on a square plate, with different sauces on top and bottom. The Hayashi Omurice was pork-based, while the Premium Hayashi Rice was beef-based. I believe the one with almond slices was the Premium Hayashi sauce. The sauce was rich and flavorful, with a nice balance of depth and smoothness. The beef and pork versions were both delicious, with no noticeable difference in quality. The pork version had a slightly lighter meat flavor. The rice was cooked slightly firm, which paired well with the sauce. The portion of rice was generous, perhaps slightly more than needed. For dessert, I enjoyed the Orange Mousse Cake, which had a subtle sweetness and a lovely orange fragrance. It was a perfect ending to the meal. This Hayashi Rice truly captured the essence of a Western-style restaurant. It was a delightful experience dining at the original shop. Thank you for the meal. This restaurant is operated by Claire Co., Ltd., not Maruzen. They also operate Echigo Soba at Tokyo Station.

I ordered the premium hayashi curry. It was definitely delicious and had a great aroma, but there was not enough sauce. There was plenty of rice, but the egg was lacking in creaminess. I'm paying a decent price for it, so I think they could make it a bit more luxurious, don't you think?

I used it for lunch. It's a set of omurice, cake, and a drink. It costs just under 3000 yen, which is quite expensive, but the food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice, so I think it's worth it as a reward lunch. The restaurant was bright with a view of the train from the window.

Every time I see the menu, I can't help but wonder what to order. This time, I decided to try the Steak Sayaishi Rice for sure, and I did! Although the dish looked different from the menu photo, it's common. There were some tough parts, but the delicious Sayaishi Rice made up for it (with a slight minus). However, this time, the atmosphere of the restaurant bothered me... The manager, or someone who seemed like the manager, was loudly scolding another staff member, and it was off-putting. I know it's not always like this, but I wish they would stop such behavior.

After finishing a quick trip to Hakone with my wife, we met up with our eldest daughter in Marunouchi. It was too early for dinner, and my wife had to catch a Shinkansen soon. Maybe we should grab something cold or sweet to recharge. I heard that Hayashi Rice is a specialty here. It sure looks delicious! Let's try it next time. Thanks for the meal!

This is a famous omurice restaurant located on the 4th floor of Maruzen in Oazo, right next to Tokyo Station. Personally, I have a slight connection to the name Hayashi, so I have always been curious about this place. It's a popular restaurant and can get quite crowded, but the atmosphere is pleasant. I decided to order the two-color omurice, with hayashi rice and curry rice. Both were delicious and easy to eat, with a mild and enjoyable flavor. The soft omurice paired well with the dishes. Although I couldn't stay long, I enjoyed my meal. Thank you for the delicious food.

Hayashi rice, said to be invented by Hayashi-san, can be enjoyed at the cafe on the 4th floor of Maruzen in Oazo. The first time I tried it, I was so impressed that I couldn't eat Hayashi rice anywhere else since then! This time, I ordered the Omurice set (around 2700 yen). It includes a prosciutto salad, Omurice, cake, and a drink. The cake is a lemon cake, a classic choice at Maruzen! I was so engrossed during my visit that I forgot to take many photos... The Omurice is the classic Hayashi rice topped with fluffy egg. I can't quite describe what makes it special, but it's definitely a delicious dish that will surely surprise you. If you ever have the chance to visit nearby, I highly recommend trying it out! The lemon cake, as shown in the photo, is a cake with lemon mousse inside a hollowed-out lemon shell. It's also delicious with a lemon pulp-infused syrup drizzled on top! The cafe has a casual atmosphere despite its location, making it suitable for everyday use. The large windows offer a great view of the train tracks at Tokyo Station, so train enthusiasts may prefer a window seat.

I visited for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't make a reservation and was able to get in right away (there seemed to be a 2-hour time limit for window seats, as there were a couple of groups waiting). I ordered the recommended Premium Omurice, which is said to be the birthplace of Hayashi Rice. The rice inside was simple white rice topped with creamy scrambled eggs and sweet Hayashi sauce, and it was delicious.

Visited on Sunday just before noon. As expected, there weren't many people in Marunouchi on the weekend, but by the time I left, there was a line forming. The Premium Hayashi Omelette Rice for ¥1,780 was a bit pricey for what you get, but that's the Marunouchi price for you.

I visited here where you can overlook Tokyo Station. Jazz music is playing. I ordered a "Blend Coffee" which was served quickly. The coffee has a good balance of acidity and bitterness. Until lunchtime starts at 10:30, it's a good place for meetings or working on a laptop.

Next to Maruzen, there is a stylish café with a trendy atmosphere. I tried the Hayashi Omelette Rice for 1580 yen. There are premium and regular options, and this time I ordered the regular one. I was surprised to see the kanji for Hayashi on the menu. There were many couples around, and also a girls' gathering. The Omelette Rice arrived in about 10 minutes. It was of a normal size. The Omelette Rice was on the creamy side. It had a taste that I couldn't replicate at home. Unfortunately, it was a bit cold when it arrived. I wished it was served piping hot. It was lukewarm, which made the deliciousness decrease by half. The portion was normal, but for me, it felt a bit lacking. The Omelette Rice and the sauce were indeed tasty, but the lukewarm temperature was too disappointing. Considering I'm used to Fukuoka prices, 1580 yen for this dish was truly surprising, but I guess it's because it's in a prime location in Tokyo.

Located on the north side of Marunouchi, this hidden gem cafe was visited before noon on a weekend. With only about 30% capacity, we were able to choose our seats freely. The spacious interior and seats that didn't feel crowded allowed us to relax and enjoy our time. The dim lighting inside was also nice. The Hayashi Rice was delicious, although I couldn't quite tell how it stood out from others. As the lunch hour passed, the cafe quickly started to fill up. I would like to come back next time for dessert.

I thought there was a slight difference between the taste and price of curry and hashed beef rice. As for the taste, I think it's a matter of personal preference. The salad was very delicious. The dressing was delicious and the vegetables were fresh with a variety of types.

After buying a book at Maruzen bookstore near Tokyo Station, I was feeling hungry so I decided to go to M&C Cafe Marunouchi OAZO on the 4th floor of the same building. It was just before 8:30 pm on a weekday, and the restaurant was about half full. I managed to get in right before the last order. The menu offers a variety of Western and cafe dishes. The restaurant is known for being the birthplace of Hayashi Rice, which seems to be a popular choice. I was planning to order Hayashi Rice, but I saw they had Premium Hayashi Omelette, which is one of my favorites, so I ordered that instead. In about 7 minutes, the Premium Hayashi Omelette was brought to me. The Hayashi sauce was generously poured over the omelette. The sauce had a rich and deep color. Under the fluffy omelette was white rice. I enjoyed the omelette, rice, and Hayashi sauce together. The sauce was sweet and very rich, with the delicious flavor of beef and the sweetness of onions. The fluffy omelette and rice paired perfectly with the rich sauce. The simplicity of the rice and omelette allowed the sauce to shine. It was a very delicious Hayashi Omelette. I had a pleasant dining experience in a calm atmosphere. I look forward to trying the regular Hayashi Rice next time.

I visited after work. The café is located inside Maruzen, so many people come in for a quick bite in the evenings. I had been curious about the Omurice, so I decided to try it out. It was satisfying and well-balanced, with options for individual dishes as well as sets. The fluffy scrambled eggs and Hayashi rice were perfect. I definitely want to come back for lunch next time! - Special Recommended Hayashi Set Omurice Style - ¥2,700 *This set includes a choice of cake and drink - Salad with prosciutto, Omurice Hayashi, Blueberry Yogurt Cake, Orange Juice Thank you for the meal.

I take the escalator up in Marunouchi OAZO, where there is a slightly stylish design. As I pass by Maruzen's books and miscellaneous goods, I see the sign for M&C Cafe at the end. During lunchtime, there is usually a bit of a wait. I look at the food samples while waiting for a vacant waiting chair. The specialty here is Hayashi Rice, named after the founder of Maruzen, Mr. Hayashi. This is my first time visiting this restaurant. I decide to go with the Hayashi Omelette Rice, but I struggle between choosing the simple Hayashi Rice or the more common Hayashi Omelette Rice. In the end, I decide to go with the Hayashi Omelette Rice and now I have to make more decisions. The Hayashi Omelette Rice is pork-based, while the premium Hayashi Rice is beef-based. I decide to go with the premium Hayashi Omelette Rice with extra sauce. The sauce is served separately, which feels like a little bonus. The omelette rice is taller than it looks in the picture, very voluminous. Inside the omelette rice is not chicken rice or ketchup rice, but plain white rice! This allows me to enjoy both the Hayashi Omelette Rice and Hayashi Rice at the same time. First, I try the sauce. The premium sauce is rich in beef flavor with a hint of acidity that stimulates the appetite. The omelette rice is a classic type with well-cooked egg. Despite the white rice inside, the flavor is not lacking due to the richness of the sauce. This dish truly captures the essence of Hayashi Rice and Hayashi Omelette Rice. If I were to nitpick, it would be the balance between the sauce and the omelette rice. The omelette rice is so large that the normal amount of sauce is not enough, making it difficult to distribute while eating. Without the extra sauce, the rice might be left over. Overall, I would give a slightly critical evaluation. If you happen to be nearby, I recommend checking it out.
