Making the Viral Kichi Kichi Omurice with Chef Motokichi | Challenge Shizuka

Challenge Shizuka is back with Japan’s most difficult omelet: the Kichi Kichi Omurice from Za Yoshokuya Kichikichi (ザ 洋食屋 キチキチ) in Kyoto. Chef Motokichi Yukimura, all-around happy person and inventor of the Kichi Kichi Omurice shows Shizuka how it’s done, before putting her skills to the test.

Chef Motokichi’s Kichi Kichi Omurice is made with chicken, shimeji mushrooms, chopped onion, soybeans, butter, rice, and demi-glace sauce; and topped with the gooiest omelet and a sprinkling of dried parsley. The toughest part about making Japan’s most difficult omurice is getting the texture of the omelet right. It should be just barely cooked on the outside, so the center is still gooey and moist, and when it unfolds over the bed of fried rice it’s more akin to a sauce than an omelet.

  1. Amazing! I enjoy this video.. I love his vibrant and sunny personality, and Shizuka too, they're both cheerful it's contagious. I am smiling while watching this until the end. 😄

  2. I was really worried that she might clap her hands forgetting about that knife on her hand.

  3. Two of my most favorite people to watch from Japan on YouTube. Love this collab. Great job Shizuka. Never expected you to get this right on the first shot when I see so many other YouTubers fail even with Chef Motokichi at their side.

  4. thought i was watching a monkey king trailer, interesting fellow 😅

  5. Can't stop smiling while watching this video, can't wait to visit Kyoto and this place again.
    Thank you Shizuka!

  6. I was in Kyoto in 2019. I wish I knew about this restaurant. I went to a restaurant in Nishiki Market and had omurice for the first time. Loved it! Too bad the Japanese restaurants in the States only serve sushi, teriyaki, and ramen.

  7. Besides from his flashy side I’ve seen what he go through everyday working on sauces before store opens.
    Real professional.

  8. That was one of the best dining experience I’ve ever had. The chef was super friendly and entertaining.

  9. I most definitely envy his spirit and enthusiasm. So natural and vibrant, I hope I can learn how to be like him one day.

  10. Everytime i watch multiple videos about him i mostly have goosebumps and sometimes i cried because i want to be him

  11. I hope that chef Motokichi lives a long life. He's such a great person. One day, I will visit Japan to try this.

  12. I wonder how many takes you guys did because it looked like Shizuka nailed it. Andrew from About to Eat failed so many times! Also this video should have more views…Love the channel
