Mantenboshi serves a full range of classic and updated yoshoku dishes, including a fancy version of omu-rice - an omelette filled with fried rice flavored with ketchup, as the English-language menu helpfully explains. The fried-rice filling is dotted with bits of crunchy vegetables, sweet green peas and very flavorful mushrooms, while the omelette casing is topped with a savory brown sauce and big shrimps that wouldn't be out of place in a Chinese stir-fry. It all adds up a surprisingly exotic flavor combination - certainly not your run-of-the-mill omelette.

The omu-rice is Y1,880, or you can get it as half of a "one plate mix" (Y2,420), which also includes your choice of beef curry, fried prawn, stuffed cabbage, crab croquettes, seafood pilaf, Hamburg steak, or fried oysters in season.
