SALON卵と私 at Harajuku, Tokyo

A Harajuku omurice specialist famous for cloud-like souffle omelettes draped in demi-glace, cheese and cream.

SALON 卵と私 is an omurice - omelette rice - specialist whose Harajuku branch has become a beloved stop on the local lunch circuit. Operated by Nihon Restaurant System, a major restaurant group behind some forty brands across Japan, the SALON 卵と私 concept evolved from the original egg shop founded in 1992. The salon iteration adds a French-inspired cafe aesthetic, with a relaxed, elegant interior that invites lingering over generous plates of egg. The star of the menu is the souffle omurice: an extraordinarily fluffy omelette made with beaten egg whites, set over ketchup rice or paired with rich demi-glace, molten cheese, or creamy white sauce. Options range from the classic ketchup version to combinations with lasagna, hamburger steak, prawn and melting mozzarella in tomato cream. Souffle pancakes and other egg-based sweets round out the offering, all made with quality eggs that lend a pronounced richness. Budgets sit comfortably between 1,000 and 2,000 yen, and the restaurant is open daily from 11:00 to 20:00. For anyone craving the comforting, indulgent pleasure of a perfectly executed omurice in a setting that feels like a Parisian salon dropped into Harajuku, SALON 卵と私 is an essential visit. Bring your appetite, choose your sauce, and let the souffle work its magic.
