Omurice...To Eat or Not to Eat??

 We have seen lots of interesting food here in Japan.  Just about everything we have tried has been yummy.  The rule with Japanese food is: "Don't look at it, don't smell it, just close your eyes and eat it.  You'll like it."  We have proven this rule over and over with many different things.
But then...there's omurice. 
We've seen omurice around, and honestly, it looks gross.  It's basically an omelet with rice/fried rice inside of it.  Then, it is topped with ketchup before eating.  We've heard that it's good, but it just looks nasty.  And considering it's Japanese food, dare we say that it seems boring?
We were fine passing up the omurice.  But, with just a day or two left in this wonderful country our curiosity got the better of us and in a moment of weakness we bought an omurice plate at Lawson's to try out.  Granted, it's convenience store food so we shouldn't expect much.....but we get things like sushi rolls, onigiris, korokke, dumplings, and karaage at Lawson's all the time and we love it all. 
 This omurice was plain rice mixed with ketchup and onion.  A layer of egg was on top, followed by more ketchup.  We divided it into equal pieces so we could each get a taste.  We closed our eyes.  We did not smell it.  We took at bite and.......

 ....we liked it!  I don't know why, but we all did!

 Even The Picky One was a fan.  The rule with Japanese food held up once again.  I guess we should have braved this dish sooner and tried it at a restaurant.  It probably would have been even better.

Check one more thing off the list of a million things that we still want to do here before we leave.  Maybe we will have to try making omurice once we get back to the states!
