Head Editor : TAMAGOYA

Located right in front of the world heritage site, "Himeji Castle," is a specialized "tamago kake gohan" (egg over rice) store. With the desire for customers to "enjoy the genuine taste of eggs," this poultry farm, founded in 1925, opened this store in 2009. Not only eggs but they also serve meals made with their homegrown rice and local ingredients, ensuring a safe, healthy, and satisfying dining experience.

One of the highlights here is the "Tamakake meshi" made with eggs from their very own breed, named "Yume Sodachi." While diners are free to enjoy it any way they wish, the recommended method is to leave a small space on the piping hot rice, drizzle the special soy sauce, and then crack the Yume Sodachi egg over it. The dish is served as a set with pickles and miso soup, and what's more, both the rice and egg are refillable! You can also customize your dish with various toppings, including Moro miso, seasoned seaweed, and Himeji's specialty, Hinepon.

Besides that, they offer specialties such as the "Special Toramaki atsuyaki tamago" made from fresh morning eggs and a bento box with grilled Conger eel from Awaji and the thick omelette, named "Myodai toramaki tamago no anago meshi." These are also available for takeout.
