Hello. I'm Shou Fujita, a gourmet writer who loves egg dishes.

This time, we will introduce a famous restaurant that serves "Spicy Fish Eggs Omelette Rice," a dish that has been loved by many locals.

Gokoku, a popular restaurant loved by locals (Ropponmatsu, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City)

Gokoku is a restaurant located on the first floor of MJR Ropponmatsu, an entertainment district lined with restaurants, just a two-minute walk from Ropponmatsu Station on the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line.

Its Spicy Fish Eggs Omelette Rice has been a hot topic, and although it moved from its current location on Keyaki-dori in 2017, it remains as popular as ever, with long queues of people waiting to get in.

The interior of the store has a spacious layout, and is enveloped in the warmth of wood and warm light, creating a friendly, cafe-like space.

You can enter the store with a stroller, so it seems to be popular with families.

The one and only "Spicy Fish Eggs Omelet Rice" was born from money sent by family!

​When the owner, Umebayashi, wasworking inTokyo, he received Spicy Fish Eggs from a family member who worked in the fishing industry. He mixed it with rice like mentaiko spaghetti to make an omelet rice, which became a big hit among his friends.

He then returned to Fukuoka and opened "Gokoku," with "Spicy Fish Eggs Omelette Rice" as its signature dish.

He apparently still purchases seafood such as Spicy Fish Eggs, salmon roe, and eel from his older brother, who still works for a fishery company.

In addition to the specialty omelet rice, they offer a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, including seafood bowls and porridge made with seafood from the sea.

The omelet rice is made with plump eggs. It is cooked in a mille-feuille style to allow air to enter, so when you break it with a spoon, the soft-boiled egg spreads out in a gooey way. The fluffy and creamy texture is irresistible and will captivate egg lovers.

It is made by mixing milk and mozzarella cheese, giving it a mellow, milky taste.

Mentaiko rice is made with a generous amount of mentaiko, roughly the equivalent of two stalks Spicy Fish Eggs, and by spreading even more Spicy Fish Eggs on top, it has a rich, dense flavor.

Barley is mixed into the moist rice, giving it a crunchy texture.

This luxurious omelet rice is more voluminous than it looks and will leave you feeling completely satisfied just by itself.

The salad that comes with the set features a refreshing Japanese dressing and chewy seaweed, making it the perfect appetizer or palate cleanser.

For dessert, a variety of homemade cakes are available, which change depending on the time of the day. On this day, I had the "White Chocolate".

This cake is one that Umebayashi remembers baking with her mother when she was a child. It has a mild flavor that evokes nostalgia.

You can also choose cakes from the display case in the store and take them out.
