Coffee Shop Kotori ( Japanese notation: 喫茶 小鳥)

Have you heard of Omurice, a dish that originated in Japan?

It seems to be quite well-known in many Asian countries, but in other parts of the world, it is still relatively unfamiliar.

Omurice is a dish where flavored rice, such as ketchup-seasoned rice, is wrapped in a thin or soft-cooked omelet.

In Japan, it is one of the most beloved dishes, often made by mothers at home for their children from an early age.

This place is a café, but its Omurice is exceptionally delicious and highly regarded.

There are many other restaurants in Sapporo where you can enjoy Omurice, but this particular one serves a classic and authentic version that has been loved in Japan for generations.

If you're curious about what real Omurice tastes like, be sure to give it a try!

The location is relatively easy to access—it's about 500 meters from Sapporo TV Tower, a well-known tourist spot in Sapporo, and only 200 meters from Nijo Market, which is about a 3-minute walk.

(Nijo Market may not be as well-known among international visitors, but I plan to introduce it in a separate article in the future.)

Since this place is originally a café, it might be a great idea to take a break during your sightseeing tour, enjoying Omurice and a cup of coffee for lunch.
