I want to go eat at "Shokudo Kamecchi."

We use fresh eggs from Misaki Town, home to one of the largest poultry farms in western Japan, rice grown in the town's terraced rice fields that have been selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Rice Terraces, and local soy sauce. A specialty store where you can eat egg-kake gohan. The local gourmet dish, which was born from the theory that Ginka Kishida, a great person from Misaki Town, loved ``tamago kake gohan'' and spread it throughout Japan, is so popular that there are long lines even on weekdays.

I want to eat this at “Shokudo Kamecchi.” ① “Kofuku set meal”

When you come here, try this item first! The set meal is 500 yen and features ``Tamago Kake Gohan'' made with extremely fresh ``Mori no Tamago'' from Misaki Town and terraced rice, and comes with seasonally changing pickles, toppings, and miso soup. It's free! Enjoy with the three types of egg-dried soy sauce available on the table: spicy, shiso, and ginger.

② “Kamataki Special”

A luxurious egg-cooked rice set made with rice cooked on the spot using a tabletop pot and ``Ise eggs'' from Misaki Town. The bowl is made from Sakurako ware, a specialty of the town. There are about 4 servings of rice, so it can be shared by two people. If you have a whole pack of eggs left, you can take them home. The set includes pot-cooked rice (2 cups), Ise eggs (6 pieces), toppings, pickles, and miso soup for 1,500 yen. Enjoy with three types of egg-dried soy sauce: green onion sauce, perilla, and ginger.

④“Oyakodon”

Oyakodon (600 yen) is the second most popular menu item after egg rice. Egg lovers will not be able to resist the chicken, which is topped with a fluffy and soft egg, and then topped with an egg yolk to create a ``chased egg.'' The rich flavor of the egg stands out, not overpowering the flavor of the soup stock. Comes with pickles and miso soup.

⑤"Caesar salad"

Caesar salad (400 yen), made with plenty of fresh locally grown vegetables, is a new menu item. Crunchy lettuce and mizuna are topped with tomatoes, bacon, and crunchy croutons that add texture. The hot spring egg in the middle is of course produced in Misaki Town. If you break the half-boiled yolk and mix it in, it goes perfectly with the refreshing and creamy dressing.

This is the souvenir! "Egg-cooked rice with soy sauce"

You can purchase the soy sauce for the egg-cooked rice that is always available on the tables in the store. The restaurant's original "Egg-kake Gohan Soy Sauce" (450 yen), made with soy sauce produced in the prefecture for a rich taste, and "Egg-kake Gohan Spicy Soy Sauce" (500 yen), made with carefully selected chili oil and chili peppers. There are 2 types. Take the egg-cooked rice you eat at home to a higher level!


“Misaki Town Product Center” where you want to go shopping
