"Fluffy and Creamy Japanese Omelet Rice with Free Range Eggs"
I love omelet rice very much. Omelets are a very popular food in Japan. There are many omelet specialty restaurants. They only serve omelets or omelet rice. I'm always impressed with chefs who can handle eggs very well. I am not good at cooking eggs but I tried to make fluffy and creamy eggs this time. It was ok. I should be kind to myself. Anyway, I used eggs from the free-range chicken farm near my house. Their eggs are so tasty. Totally different taste from factory eggs. I can taste happy eggs.
By the way, people like to use Onomatopoeia in Japan a lot like Fuwa Fuwa which means fluffy, or Toro Toro which means creamy. There are thousands of Onomatopoeia words in Japanese. Some people say, there are 4,000-5,000 Onomatopoeia words in Japanese. Also, people use Onomatopoeia for food a lot. If you watch Japanese cooking shows, you will hear Onomatopoeia every time everywhere.
"フリーレンジ卵のふわとろオムライス"
わたしはオムライスが好きです。日本ではとても人気の高いメニューです。オムライス専門店もたくさんあります。卵を上手に調理できるシェフにはとても感心します。わたしは卵料理が得意な方ではないのですが、ふわとろに挑戦してみました。まあまあの出来でしたが、よしとします。卵は近所の農家のフリーレンジ（放し飼い）のニワトリの卵を使用しました。ここの卵はとても美味しいです。工場産の卵とは全然違います。ハッピーな味がします。
ところで、日本語にはふわふわ、とろとろなどたくさんのオノマトペの単語があります。一説によると４,０００から５,０００ものオノマトペ語があるとのことです。食べ物に対してもオノマトペをよく使いますよね。料理番組を見ていると、オノマトペを使い放題です。

You are on a cooking kick lately! Another wonderful meal here. I also love Omelet Rice. There was an episode of Midnight Diner (深夜食堂) that features omelet rice. That show always makes me hungry. Just like your last few posts! haha keep up the good work.
Oh, I like "Shinya Shokudo" as well. I watched the movie version before. Definitely, that show makes us hungry. I noticed that I cook meals every day anyway so it's a good topic for me!
Oh your omelette looks fluffy:)
Yeah, I tried to make a fluffy one this time. It was pretty fluffy and creamy!

This is the first time that I have seen a Japanese recipe in this community. To be honest, I love Japanese cuisine, especially Ramen. I will try this one out.
I love Ramen too! My home town's special Ramen is called Miso Butter Corn Ramen. Curly noodles, corn, butter, and more toppings! Talking about Ramen makes me hungry;)
Me too!
