Established in 1922, the Japanese restaurant “Polar Star” is a long-established establishment known as the “home of omurice.” Its Shinsaibashi main store is the original shop that serves omurice. The original chicken omurice, which wraps the ketchup-based rice in a tender egg, has remained popular for over 100 years.
The Story of Omurice's Birth
Its origins date back to 1925, when a regular with a weak stomach was served rice flavored with ketchup wrapped in an omelet. It is said that this dish is the origin of “Omurice,” and has been loved as the symbol of the North Star ever since.
