Tamago Kake Gohan — Restaurant in Takayama

We came here in mid-Ocotber when we were due to visit shirakawa-go village in the morning, wanting to try a Japanese style breakfast. The owner was very nice and uses Google translate to help with communication. Their main menu is rice with raw egg, served with miso soup. They listed where their ingredients were sourced from, which I like because you can see how everything was related. You can order additional toppings like cheese and nitto for 100-150jpy each. The negi-miso is my favorite additional topping. Unlimited egg is allowed for part of your set, miso soup is refillable for free, and rice is refillable for a price. Do read text on portion size so you won't be surprise by the amount of rice you receive.

I have never tried raw egg and rice before, so I was worry that I won't like the texture, which would have a slippery/ slick from the egg white. I am glad I took a chance on it as it was very delicious. If the texture is overwhelming, changing the rice to egg ratio would help. With more rice than eggs, you will get a more thick-sauce like texture which should be similar with white suace risotto.

I think we were the most surprise with the matcha latte... It was very rich and thick, almost like a dessert. I stole sips from my partner often. Tee hee.

We spent around 1200jpy per person, including the set, additional coffee/matcha latte, and additional toppings. The soy sauce could be bought as souvenirs. Overall a pleasantly surprised...

What a remarkable find during our trip in Takayama!

We struggled with breakfast options to start our day and this location has a unique japanese breakfast style where fresh and organic eggs are served with rice and soup.

For people who prefer more traditional options, it's also possible to have an egg sando or scrambeled egg (recommended to add the bacon here).

To add to the unique experience and the delicious food, the owner lady is increibly nice and excited to connect with visitors.

We visited three times in 5 days during our stay...

The egg sandwiches were absolutely delicious — soft, creamy, and perfectly balanced. They’re on a whole different level compared to konbini sandwiches, miles ahead in taste and quality. I also loved the iced coffee, especially the coffee ice cubes that kept the drink strong without watering it down. The staff were incredibly kind...
