Yes the egg is soft and fluffy at least, but the rice beneath it is nothing spectacular. The demi glacé ladled over doesn’t have much flavour, and its bitterness takes some getting used to. Come for his fancy flicks and your share of bragging rights—but don’t expect the meal to be worth your money in terms of taste. @kichikichi_omurice

Near Pontocho alley, this is a gem. Wanted to find the best omu rice in Kyoto and this place really stood out. The showmanship and personal service of the chef showed the dedication to his craft of omu rice. And when a chef loves his food that much, the food just seems more delicious.
Recommend to make reservations 3 weeks in advance online! The mini version was 1800Y and the large version was 3600Y. Felt that the mini one was enough, and we preferred the non-beef sauce over the beef sauce. Yums
I'll TRY to keep it short.... 😂
Make sure you book in advanced online. Come on time. The place is small, the chef is sweet and the portions are expensive. The process of making the omu rice however is very fun to watch and experience!
If I remember correctly, most of my friends and I decided with the smaller portion (price constraints), it was around 20 dollars and you get rice smaller than a usual bowl 😢 I enjoyed every mouth thankfully! With the help of some chilli concoction I requested the chef to make because no chilli no life! 🙈 Oh yes, that's a tip. Request for some chilli, he'll whip some ra-yu like thing and it's tasty!
It was too late in Kyoto to search for a proper dining spot and while walking through this alley, this random restaurant was opened and so it was decided •
There were limited seats and only 2 groups were there, we got the bar seat by luck. Anyone else who came in after us were rejected as he was closing soon. THIS chef then cooked for us and was really into his presentation - it was therapeutic watching him make the perfect omelette •
Back at the Airbnb, posted this on my personal insta, a lot of people asked if HE was the viral omurice dude and honestly until today, I still don’t know which viral video it is 😂 if I had known he was some famous omurice dude, I would’ve taken a picture with him •
Either way, whether or not he is famous, it was one of the best omurice I’ve ever tasted in the whole of Japan thus far 😍 #highlyRAEted •

So what sets Kichi Kichi’s Omu Rice apart from those we have in Singapore? First off, the fantabulous show that you get to witness the Chef perform while cooking your portion on the spot 🤓, secondly you get a smooth and gooey texture of eggs and thirdly your fried rice tastes more flavourful 😌 just before pouring the sauce, the Chef pointed out ‘beef sauce’. This is one sauce I can’t really fathom though; it’s light and yet slightly salty. I can’t decide if I like it or not. Those who have tried, did you guys like the sauce? 🤔

Yes none other than the famed YouTube omelette rice. A cooked omelette is piled atop rice cooked with chicken, mushroom and onions, before the cute chef splits it with a knife right in front of you. What spills out is fluffy scrambled egg-esque egg which covers the whole rice. Then, the chef dashes it with two ladies of the brown sauce which is savoury and a tinge of sweet with pepper.

Tried it for myself today in #Kyoto. Verdict? Entertainment (and chef’s spontaneity) is 💯. The rice, though not amazing, is decent great. Best of all is scooping up the fluffy omelette. Nothing quite like its creamy yet semi-watery texture mixed with that layer of cooked velvety omelette together in one. Full video in IG story. And don’t forget to get the creamy melty croquettes too (another must here).

The dish started to sparkle, glimmer, glisten and glow.

I'm sure many of you have seen this and very eager to try. But to all 4 of us, it's definitely overrated, and overpriced.
.
Think twice. Should you really die die also want to try, keep in mind that you're going for the experience, and proceed with caution. ⚠

We came without reservation and was greeted by a "closed" sign with another board saying "today is for reservations only". But the uncle was kind enough to ask his assistant to welcome us and give us a table. He was sure friendly and entertaining. Also, not everyone can cook such perfectly wiggly omelette, ya? So we ordered a plate of full-sized omurice each, with high expectations. The rice and the omelete, however, was rather bland. It helps that it's buttery, but that's pretty much it.
.
I'm really not trying to purposely being bad to the uncle, it might only happen to us, perhaps he was tired and wasn't expecring more ppl, but that's what we really get. 😕
