[2025 Osaka Restaurant] Travel Guide for Hokkyokusei - Shinsaibashi Main Shop (Updated Apr)

Hokkyokusei Japanese Omelette Rice is one of the best Omelette Rice I have had before! You won't regret finding your way to this unique omelette rice house. The house is in traditional Japanese style. You have to take off your shoes at the door, make sure you wear socks without holes. Me and my friends were seated in a private tatami room. We ordered three different kinds of Omelette Rice, beef, shrimp and fried chicken. The sauce, the omelette and rice is just perfect, the portion just right and very tasty. I highly recommend trying this omelette rice.

Actually, there is a very famous restaurant in Osaka that is the birthplace of omurice. That is "Hokkyokusei" Osaka Shinsaibashi main store. The origin of the birth of omurice... There was such a story! I found out for the first time when I went to this restaurant! 😳 ※It is in the last photo↑ [The taste of the omurice you are curious about] ◼️Standard omurice Wow, this was really unexpected. It was really delicious. When I ordered, the picture on the menu didn't look very appetizing somehow 😂 I thought it would come out as a regular old-fashioned ketchup omurice... I had low expectations 😅 But the first bite was so delicious that I was impressed! First of all, the egg was fluffy and soft and really delicious. The rice was not too strong, and the sauce was a gentle tomato sauce with a subdued acidity. You can choose from chicken, mushrooms, beef, pork, etc. for the rice in the standard omurice. This time, I ordered the standard omelet rice Mushroom (with cheese) ¥1330 Beef (fried shrimp & miso soup set) ¥1740 and both were delicious. [Interior atmosphere] And this building was actually built in 1950! The interior is a traditional tatami room. The courtyard was also lovely. The restroom is Japanese-style! The unisex restroom at the entrance is Western-style, so I was surprised 😂 At the entrance, there are photos that give a sense of history, the origin of the creation of omelet rice, and autographs of famous people. [Price] ◼️Standard Omelet Rice ¥1080 ~¥1420 ◼️Original Omelet Rice ¥1250 ~ ¥1950 [Store Information] ◼️North Star ◼️Address 2-7-27 Nishishinsaibashi, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture Close to Namba Station, Yotsubashi Station, and Dotonbori.

When I came to Osaka, in addition to the must-try takoyaki and okonomiyaki, I specially visited the main store of "Hokkyokusei" in Shinsaibashi. This restaurant is the birthplace of omelette rice, and its century-old history makes people look forward to its signature food. The restaurant's exterior retains the style of the Showa period, small and nostalgic, and there is a warm family atmosphere as soon as you walk in. The walls are covered with old photos and thank-you letters, showing the restaurant's long history and profound cultural heritage. I ordered the signature "Classic Omurice". When the waiter brought it, the first thing that attracted me was the golden and tender egg skin wrapped around the fragrant tomato fried rice. When you cut the egg skin, the egg liquid slowly flows down and blends perfectly with the rice inside, which is perfect just from a visual point of view. With the first bite, the sweet and sour tomato sauce and the soft and smooth egg aroma instantly bloom on the tip of your tongue. The rice was cooked to perfection and every grain of rice was soaked up with the essence of the seasoning. The side dishes are simple salad and clear soup. Although simple, they just balance the rich flavor of the omelette rice. In addition, the restaurant's service is also very thoughtful. The waiters kindly introduce the dishes and take good care of each customer, making people feel at home. In summary, Polaris is worthy of being the originator of omelet rice. Its simplicity and deliciousness reflect the Japanese cuisine's attention to details. If you are an omurice fan or interested in classic Japanese cuisine, this restaurant is definitely worth a try!
