Ketchup-seasoned chicken rice wrapped in a soft folded omelette, finished with a stripe of tomato sauce or demi-glace. Yoshoku (Japanese-Western) comfort food, invented in Osaka and now national.
Omurice was invented at Hokkyokusei (North Star) in Shinsaibashi in 1925 by founder Shigeo Kitahashi, who wrapped ketchup-mixed chicken rice in a thin omelette for a regular customer with a weak stomach (the restaurant itself had opened in 1922). The dish became Hokkyokusei's signature; the restaurant still serves it the same way at the original Shinsaibashi branch. The dish spread nationally through Showa-era yoshoku diners.
