Japanese Konbini (convenience store) giant FamilyMart will release “Rakeru-Supervised Special Tomato Sauce Chicken Omurice,” a frozen meal developed in collaboration with the famous Omurice specialty restaurant Rakeru, across Japan starting March 31, 2026.
Omurice (Omelet Rice) is a highly popular Japanese comfort food consisting of seasoned rice wrapped in a fluffy omelet. In this latest renewal, the thickness of the egg—the heart of any Omurice—has been increased to over 1.8 times its previous volume. Here is a look at this noteworthy new product that allows you to enjoy a professional restaurant taste easily from your microwave at home.
1.8x Thicker Egg! Pursuing the “Fuwa-Fuwa” Texture of a Specialty Shop
The most significant highlight of this renewal is the quality of the egg. The developers have pushed the limits of frozen food technology to recreate the “Fuwa-fuwa” (soft and fluffy) texture that is highly prized in Japanese culinary culture.
The egg is now over 1.8 times thicker than the previous version, boasting a volume that feels as if it were carefully prepared by a professional chef. It features a characteristic bounce and softness. Using strictly selected ingredients to highlight natural flavors, the egg provides a deep richness and sweetness. This extra-thick egg layer blends perfectly with the rich sauce and rice, creating a luxurious dining experience.
Evolved Chicken Rice! The Rich Aroma of Butter and Bacon
It isn’t just the egg that has improved; the Chicken Rice (rice cooked with chicken and seasoned with ketchup) inside has also undergone a major upgrade. To bring the flavor closer to a “restaurant-quality” experience, the ingredients and seasoning have been refined.
The new chicken rice features added bacon and a butter-flavored sauce. The fragrant aroma of butter stimulates the appetite, while the savory umami of the bacon enhances the overall satisfaction of the meal.
The secret to the flavor lies in the “double sauce” combination: a Special Tomato Sauce with a perfect balance of acidity and umami, and a mellow Soft-Boiled Egg Style Sauce. These sauces envelop the extra-thick egg and butter-scented rice, achieving a level of quality that makes it hard to believe it came from a freezer.
