◆Omurice is a satisfying dish! What is its nutritional value?
Omurice is a dish that allows you to eat a variety of foods in one dish, including meat such as chicken, vegetables such as carrots and onions, eggs, and rice. The calorie content of one serving of omurice varies depending on the sauce you use, but a typical omurice with ketchup is around 700 kcal. Do you think this number is low or high?
Let's compare the calorie count of omurice with that of other dishes that are also substantial enough to eat on their own. First, curry, a dish that likely ranks highly among favorites for people of all ages and genders, has 700 kcal, roughly the same calorie count as omurice. Curry, packed with meat and vegetables, is also a versatile dish that delivers a variety of nutrients in one dish. Also, oyakodon, featuring chicken and eggs, is slightly higher in calories at 700 kcal, while katsudon, topped with fried pork cutlet, is slightly higher at 1,000 kcal. Finally, loco moco, featuring hamburger steak, is also quite high in calories at 900 kcal. Omurice is relatively low in calories compared to other rice dishes. Its well-balanced nutritional profile, including vitamins, protein, and carbohydrates, is also appealing. Furthermore, Omuraisutei's omurice is made with healthy ingredients, so you can enjoy delicious, wholesome omurice.
◆The rice is nutritious 2-grain rice! You can also choose from two different flavors!
The rice used in Omuraisutei's omurice is 16-grain rice. 16-grain rice is rice made from a mix of various grains, including barley, germinated brown rice, and black rice. It contains about twice as much minerals, B vitamins, and dietary fiber as white rice, making it a very nutritious option. Despite this, the calorie content of 16-grain rice is about the same as white rice, at around 270 kcal per serving. If you're going to eat the same amount, you can't help but eat 16-grain rice.
Additionally, you can choose from two different seasonings for Omuraisutei's 16-grain rice. The first is the classic ketchup rice. Omuraisutei's ketchup rice isn't simply seasoned with ketchup, but instead uses demi-glace sauce as a secret ingredient. The rich demi-glace sauce mellows out the acidity of the ketchup, resulting in a rich, addictive flavor. The second is chicken rice. This Japanese-style mixed rice, which brings out the umami flavor of chicken, is seasoned with Omuraisutei's signature flavor, allowing you to experience the aroma and deliciousness of the dashi broth.
The more you chew it, the more flavorful the 2-grain rice becomes. The combination of the original umami flavor and the two types of seasoning is outstanding! Please give it a try!
"Our carefully selected ingredients are guaranteed to be both nutritious and delicious!"
We strive to select and handle the ingredients we use at Omuraisutei with care so that everyone can enjoy delicious and safe food.
For example, eggs are essential for making delicious omelet rice, and attention is also paid to the feed used to raise the chickens. Special feed mixed with charcoal increases the chickens' metabolism and improves the quality of the eggs. The egg yolks are plump and firm, so you can pick them up with your fingers, and they are packed with the delicious flavor of the egg.
Rich eggs have a rich flavor that doesn't require any extra seasonings, so another benefit is that they help reduce excess salt and calories.
We also offer 100% beef hamburgers. By not using any additives when making the hamburger, we are able to provide hamburger steaks that are not only delicious but also healthy.
