Pom no Ki is a renowned chain of restaurants specializing in omurice, with 93 locations across Japan. Offering a diverse menu of approximately 40 omurice varieties, they serve everything from classic options to special seasonal dishes. What sets Pom no Ki apart is their dedication to creating omurice with fluffy, creamy textures, using carefully selected eggs and ketchup.
The origins of Pom no Ki date back to April 1979 when the limited company, Pom de Terre, opened a café called ‘Pom de Terre’ in Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture. In 1983, they expanded their venture by launching ‘Meshi-ya Zumbera,’ and in 1985, the original Pom de Terre relocated to Taguchiyama, Hirakata City in Osaka Prefecture.
Pom no Ki has grown into a franchise with 99 directly operated and franchised stores in 25 different prefectures across Japan. The parent company, Pom Food Co., manages various dining brands besides Pom no Ki, including nostalgic ‘town Western-style restaurants’ featuring classic dishes like hamburg, and ‘Pom no Ki Jr.,’ mainly present in food courts.
At Pom no Ki, they use ‘Shintamago,’ a dedicated brand of eggs, and original blend rice to craft their omurice. Additionally, they’ve established their unique ‘Omurice Master Certification’ to continually enhance the quality of their omurice.
Among Pom no Ki’s popular offerings, you’ll find:
- Classic Ketchup Omurice
- Spicy Cod Roe and Mayonnaise Omurice
- Slow-cooked Beef Stew Omurice
- Mozzarella Cheese in Tomato Sauce Omurice
- Chicken Omurice

Another favorite, especially among female patrons, is the ‘Omurice Doria,’ which features ketchup omurice topped with a luscious layer of white sauce and melted cheese, beautifully baked to perfection.
Pom no Ki also offers Japanese-style omurice options with flavors like bonito dashi (fish stock) and soy sauce, giving customers a heartwarming, Japanese twist on the classic Western-style omurice.
Pom no Ki’s omurice is beloved by people of all ages, from children to seniors. It’s a place where omurice lovers from all walks of life can savor the perfect plate.
(Note: The term “Omurice” refers to a popular Japanese dish consisting of an omelette filled with fried rice and typically topped with ketchup.)
