Its beautiful appearance and gentle flavors have captured the hearts of people across generations and countries.
One especially popular spot is “ESPRESSO D WORKS yellow Shibuya,” a specialty omurice restaurant that attracts long lines of customers every day.

Why the “W cheese Hamburg omelette rice” is so popular
The most popular item on the menu is the “W cheese Hamburg omelette rice” (in Japan, “W” is used to indicate “double” as it has a similar pronunciation), featuring fluffy eggs and a homemade demi-glace sauce.
What sets it apart isn’t just the taste, but the “live cooking” performance done right at your table.
Once ordered, the dish arrives with chicken rice flavored with ketchup and topped with a perfectly shaped rugby ball-like omelet. Right before your eyes, a staff member slices into the omelette.
As the omelette opens up, incredibly steamy, silky soft eggs spill out!
These eggs than gently envelop the chicken rice.
Next, a thick, juicy hamburger steak is placed on top and covered with a rich house-made demi-glace sauce, followed by a generous pour of melted Camembert cheese sauce to finish.
Voilà — the W cheese Hamburg omelette rice is now ready to eat.

Viewed from the side, you can really see how thick the hamburger steak is. The patty also contains cheese inside the hamburger steak, which oozes out when cut — hence the “double cheese” name.
Despite its rich look, the ketchup rice and demi-glace sauce have a surprisingly light taste. Paired with the juicy hamburger steak and creamy cheese sauce, the overall dish strikes a perfect balance.
The restaurant values making omurice that isn’t too heavy, so even with the large portion size, it’s easy to finish the entire plate.
The omurice topped with shrimp and tomato cream sauce is irresistible!

To finish, it’s topped with a rich tomato cream sauce made in a bisque style, packed with shrimp.
ESPRESSO D WORKS yellow Shibuya takes pride in using different seasonings for the rice in each of its dishes.
While ketchup rice is the standard for omurice, here the rice flavor is customized to match each sauce and set of ingredients.
