The first place in the "convenience store omelet rice" selected by the editorial department is this! Thorough comparison of 7-ELEVEN, FamilyMart, Lawson, Circle K Sunkus, and Ministop omelet rice!

Everyone loves omelet rice. You can almost always see omelet rice on the shelves of "chilled lunch boxes" that convenience stores are focusing on recently.

However, even if you say omelet rice in a bite, there are various variations such as the seasoning of rice, the texture of eggs, and the sauce of toppings. Therefore, this time, I would like to hold " Convenience store omelet rice summit decisive battle 2015", which is called "Convenience store omelet rice summit decisive battle 2015 ", which thoroughly compares the omelet rice of 5 major convenience stores and decides the No. 1 without permission!


● Check the omelet rice at each convenience store

This time, we prepared omelet rice from the following 5 convenience stores.

7-ELEVEN "Fluffy omelet rice with demitoma sauce" (450 yen / tax included, same below)
FamilyMart "Fluffy egg omelet rice" (498 yen)
Lawson "Omelet rice with fluffy egg" (430 yen)
Circle K Sunkus "Omurice with Hayashi sauce" (450 yen)
Ministop "Fluffy egg omelet rice beef stew tailoring" (498 yen)

All prices are in the 400 yen range, but Lawson is the cheapest at 430 yen, and 7-ELEVEN and Ministop are almost 500 yen, which is the highest price this time. In addition, while most product names include the keywords "Toro" and "Fuwa" that push the deliciousness of eggs, only Sunkus claims that "Hayashi sauce is the decisive factor" without relying on the existence of eggs.


Now, let's try and compare the five omelet rice while paying attention to the three elements of "egg," "rice," and "sauce."

・ 7-ELEVEN "Fluffy omelet rice with demitoma sauce"


【egg】
It's thick enough to make you think it's a thick roasted egg, and when you break through the thin skin with a spoon, the egg of Trottro flows out like a waterfall . When you cheek, your mouth is filled with mellow toro!

【rice】
It is chewy and a little hard. The taste of ketchup is modest.

【Source】
Smooth demiglace sauce. It seems that it contains tomato paste, but the sourness of tomatoes is not felt so much and the finish is sweet. The aftertaste is refreshing.



・ FamilyMart "Fluffy egg omelet rice"


【egg】
Lightly baked type. It has a soft mouthfeel and a "fluffy" texture.

【rice】
It is soft and each grain is not sticky and is smooth. Ketchup has a strong claim and has a presence that is comparable to the taste of sauce. The mixed crispy onions are delicious.

【Source】
The demiglace sauce is insanely rich! It has a full-fledged taste with umami, deep richness, and a fragrance that seems to have been boiled down to the last minute. I think it's irresistible for Demi lovers.



・ Lawson "Omelet rice with fluffy egg"


【egg】
Two types are combined, a fluffy egg and a fluffy egg. The fluffy egg melts quickly without chewing, just like souffle. The high points are softness and fragile mouthfeel .

【rice】
Slightly hard. The strength of the ketchup taste was just right, and it tasted the closest to the ketchup price made at home.

【Source】
Ketchup is the only topping in this lineup. This ketchup is quite sour ... or rather, it has almost no sweetness. As a result, the taste may be different from that of omelet rice for children.



・ Circle K Sunkus "Omurice with Hayashi sauce"


【egg】
Overall, it's a torotoro, half-ripe scrambled eggs style. Since the amount is a little small for rice and sauce, you may feel unsatisfactory if you think "I want to eat omelet rice!"

【rice】
It has a chewy, moderately sweet and sour ketchup taste. The combination of hayashi sauce and ketchup rice is novel!

【Source】
Hayashi sauce, not demiglace. It has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and has a mellow richness. It also contains ingredients such as onions and meat, which makes it very satisfying to eat. The impression of Hayashi is stronger than that of omelet rice.



・ Ministop "Fluffy egg omelet rice beef stew tailoring"


【egg】
There are 3 layers of "Torori egg sauce", "Lightly grilled egg" and "Scrambled eggs with cheese", and you can enjoy the change in texture. Except for lightly grilled eggs, it's torotoro. The richness and umami of cheese insist.

【rice】
It is a little hard and the ketchup taste is quite modest.

【Source】
A demiglace sauce with large cut meat and onions. It is rich and has a strong taste claim, but I feel that the amount is a little small for rice. I honestly thought that I wanted more to be included because it was delicious.



page As a result, the omelet rice that won the prestigious first place ...? ● Results of strict examination ...

Three editorial staff members rank the 1st to 5th places at their own discretion. The 1st place will be 4 points, the 2nd place will be 3 points, the 3rd place will be 2 points, and so on. Finally, the omelet rice with the highest total points will be the winner.

The ranking by each staff is as follows.

・ Staff K (My favorite type of omelet rice is "old-fashioned ketchup omelet rice")
1st place: Lawson → I like ketchup sauce
2nd place: Ministop → The whole taste is organized & the cheese is delicious
3rd place: FamilyMart → Demiglace sauce is good

・ Staff Y (Omelet rice is eaten at home. Simple without ketchup or sauce)
1st place: Ministop → The texture of the egg and the deliciousness of the cheese are outstanding
2nd place: Lawson → Most familiar & good ketchup price
3rd place: 7-ELEVEN → The texture of the egg is wonderful. I think it's okay to call yourself "Toro Fuwa"

・ Staff S (I am weak in the first impact of a bite and tend to be devoted to deep seasoning)
1st place: FamilyMart → Demiglace sauce is delicious anyway
2nd place: Thanks → Hayashi sauce is the decisive factor
3rd place: Ministop → Eggs with cheese are rich and delicious

Based on these, the prestigious winner of the 1st convenience store omelet rice summit decisive battle was ... Ministop's "Fluffy egg omelet rice" ! Congratulations!!


In addition to the texture of the egg and the deliciousness of the demi sauce, it may be said that the existence of the egg with cheese is the victory. While eating as many as five omelet rice, the new wind that the cheese blew in when everyone started to think "I'm getting tired of it ..." was still impressive. In the first place, egg and cheese are definitely a delicious combination!

The second place was Lawson's "Fluffy egg omelet rice", and the third place was FamilyMart's "Fluffy egg omelet rice". Lawson's old-fashioned simplicity and familiar taste seemed to be the decisive factor for FamilyMart's super authentic demiglace sauce.



Even if the appearance and product name are similar, when I actually eat and compare them, I find that even if I take one rice, it is completely different, and it was a very interesting experience. In addition, the result of this time was decided at the discretion of the eating editorial department, and of course each person has his or her own taste. If you have something that interests you, please try it for lunch tomorrow! (* The product lineup is as of the time of writing the article, so it may not be on sale now.)

I ate enough to make omelet rice, so I think it's okay for a while.
