agree, that omlette looked so easy to make and so wonderful. how he places the eggs on the rice and splits it open to reveal the soft insides is very sexy and comforting at the same time. The details are what made this a great movie!

nope, rice omelette w/ ketchup is considered homestyle Japanese cooking.
your best bet is to order donburi or tamago. many Japanese Resturants in "The West" have these staples on the menu. tamago dipped in ketchup will be identical, in taste (save the nori), to the Tampopo rice omelette. -

Would just like to point out that a lot of places serve omrice with or without ketchup. And some restraunts specialise and that's the main dish, I have a very posh coffee shop/omrice place round the corner from my house.
Or maybe it's just 'cos I live out in the country, perhaps Tokyo doesn't sell omrice??
And yeah, I think that was ketchup in the rice. -

love this thread couple of points:
- I turn co-workers on to tamago all the time, they just never think it's anything special. They have no idea how complex a Japanese omelette is until they try it. You can literally order it in any western Sushi-bar.
- Even without the omelette, a bowl of steamed sushi-grade rice topped with room temperature ketchup and furikake (ground seaweed) is a delicious breakfast.
- if you want to get at the root of home-style Japanese cuisine, get yourself a cast-iron dutch-oven and learn to make Okayu (congee; rice porridge). Start with just salt and ketchup before experimenting with real toppings (pickled radish, green onion, and/or pickled fish).
take pleasure in how far you've come
