We introduced Matsuko recommendation Omurice in Tokyo area this time. Around 1,000yen pricing for Omurice is attractive point here. We recommend you to have enough time for research them, because there are unique traditional character in each restaurant, such as narrow space for dining and inevitable waiting time to get in the restaurant.
