[Perfect for Sunday Lunch!] A memorable bowl I found under the Yurakucho tracks: Horyu's "Gomoku Fried Rice"

A holiday in Yurakucho. After enjoying some shopping or a movie, do you ever find yourself wondering, "What should I have for lunch today?" For those moments, there is a restaurant I can confidently recommend. It is "Horyu," a legendary local Chinese eatery that has been loved for years under the Yurakucho train tracks. Happily, this place is open on Sundays and holidays, making it a true savior.

◆ Horyu's "Gomoku Fried Rice," shining in golden hues

The restaurant is lively and bustling with many people. I ordered the popular "Gomoku Fried Rice," which I heard many other customers also order.

The moment it was brought to my table, I couldn't help but let out an "Oh..." It was a magnificent dish, shining in golden colors. The ingredients include finely chopped char siu, egg, green onions, and, to my delight, crab meat.

When I scoop it up with my spoon, I find an ideal texture where fluffy and moist coexist perfectly. As I take a bite, the savory aroma of the char siu and the rich umami of the crab spread through the light, salt-based seasoning. I couldn't help but feel that this is not just fried rice, but a "work of art" polished by years of history.

◆ The bustle under the tracks is the best spice

The clattering sound of JR trains passing overhead—even that sounds like the best spice to make this restaurant's fried rice taste even better.

The charm of "Horyu" also lies in the warmth of the Showa era found everywhere: the set where you can add a half-portion of fried rice to ramen for an extra 200 yen, the handwritten menus on the walls, and the "seasoned seaweed" that comes with the set meals. It is a space that feels nostalgic and genuinely relaxing.

There might be no better place for a holiday lunch in the Yurakucho or Ginza area. Whether between shopping, before a movie, or even just to eat this fried rice, it is well worth a visit.
