The informal gyoza and Japanese-Chinese language meals specialty chain releases its second tackle omuraisu and we are able to verify that it’s nothing like the primary.
Osaka Ohsho is beloved for its massive parts of delectable dishes at affordable costs. About 4 years in the past, the chain started promoting its model of omuraisu (“omelet rice”), a preferred Western-inspired Japanese consolation meals consisting of an omelet draped over a mattress of rice flavored primarily with ketchup. Its advertising workforce should have been tasked with developing with a memorable title, as a result of the dish was dubbed the Juicy Grilled Pork of Sometime’s First Love Omuraisu. Whereas that appears like it will be extremely awkward to say to a server, upon making an attempt it, we discovered that its taste was on level.
▼ Osaka Ohsho’s unique omuraisu dish, which we’ll shorten to “First Love” right here
Osaka Ohsho lately introduced {that a} successor to the First Love is ready to be launched on September 18. Nonetheless, we had been in a position to pattern it just a few days early by invitation to Osaka Ohsho’s fifty fifth anniversary occasion within the Tokyo. Behold the brand new dish in all of its–WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!
▼ The brand new dish is named the Garlic Meat Meat Curry Omuraisu.
OK OK, there wasn’t an oz. of visible similarity to the unique omuraisu. The omelet was topped with a heaping stack of hen katsu, which was all drenched in curry sauce with a dollop of garlic mayo on prime. Workers additionally shared that the within of the omelet was filled with chashu (braised pork stomach)-mixed garlicky rice. If this dish had been purported to be a non secular successor to the unique one, then this primary love had gone horribly flawed.
Our shock was mollified a bit after tasting the omuraisu’s deep, garlicky taste. In actual fact, the garlic style was so sturdy that it lingered in our mouths even after we had left the anniversary occasion and gone again to the workplace. Garlic lovers will certainly recognize this omuraisu, however we most likely wouldn’t advocate consuming it on a primary date–until issues are going very flawed and also you don’t desire a new romance to blossom.
Actually although, we simply couldn’t recover from the hole between the Garlic Meat Meat and the First Love, which in addition to having an extremely lyrical title has its personal “menu poem” as well:
“Earlier than we knew it
It was left behind in reminiscences
The Chinese language-style restaurant’s omuraisu
Candy ketchup and wealthy grilled pork
It was scrumptious
Ohsho’s remake for a restricted time
With only one chew, how far again can you come back?”
▼ The menu poem (Have we maybe stumbled upon a brand new literary style?)
Persevering with to check the brand new omuraisu from each potential angle, we are able to verify that the outdated love should have been left far, far behind in somebody’s reminiscence on the market.
In any case, the Garlic Meat Meat Curry Omuraisu prices 1,280 yen (US$9) and can be accessible at Osaka Ohsho places for the interval of September 18 to October 27. Although, within the case of the First Love, maybe it’ll turn into an ordinary menu merchandise if it positive aspects sufficient recognition throughout its restricted launch.
▼ This advert additionally shares that the dish comes with a facet of soup.
Whereas the omuraisu is undeniably scrumptious, we are able to’t assist pondering that there’s obtained to be a extra appropriate recipe on the market to observe within the footsteps of the First Love. One thing like this, as an illustration, appears extra like an precise cousin and fewer just like the Frankenstein of the omuraisu.
