Get ready to taste the iconic fluffy omurice at Tsukimi Hamburg starting July 10—plus, catch Chef Motokichi himself in action with live cooking demos on July 11 and 12!
You’ve seen the videos. The perfectly timed omelette slice. That golden, jiggly egg slowly cascading over a bed of glistening rice. And, of course, the red beret and high-energy charisma of Chef Motokichi Yukimura. Now, the internet’s favorite omurice chef is bringing his viral magic to Singapore—and yes, you can finally taste it for yourself.
Starting July 10, Tsukimi Hamburg in Singapore will serve Kyoto’s iconic Kichi Kichi Omurice. But that’s not all. Chef Motokichi himself will make a special appearance on July 11 and 12 at Tsukimi Hamburg’s Jurong Point location. There, a lucky few can witness and taste his famous omurice live performance in person.
Here’s What You Need to Know About Kyoto’s Kichi Kichi Omurice Coming to Singapore
If you’re not familiar, omurice (short for omelette rice) is a comfort food staple in Japan—usually a fluffy egg omelette layered over fried rice and finished with a sauce like ketchup or demi-glace. What made Kichi Kichi’s version blow up on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube is Chef Motokichi’s performance-style cooking. That iconic rapid-fire whisking, perfect omelette folds, and a big reveal make the egg melt like silk over the rice. Yes, it’s food with flair—but it looks as good as it tastes.
Before going viral, Kichi Kichi was already a known, humble 14-seater restaurant tucked into a Kyoto alleyway. It’s been around since 1978, originally serving locals who came for a warm plate of Japanese food. Over time, the restaurant’s whimsical take on omurice and Chef Motokichi’s infectious energy turned it into a global food pilgrimage spot.
Now, thanks to a collab with Tsukimi Hamburg, the same experience is coming to Singapore. The partnership is adding two special omurice dishes to the menu—permanently. First is the original Kichi Kichi Omurice, made with demi-glace-flavored fried rice, topped with the famous tornado-style omelette, and finished with rich demi-glace sauce. Second is the Kichi Kichi Hamburg Omurice, a heartier version that includes a juicy hamburg steak alongside the fluffy egg. It’s a satisfying combo—perfect for when you’re extra hungry or just craving a treat.
How to See Chef Motokichi Live
For those hoping to catch the chef in action, here’s how it works. Diners who spend at least $20 at any &JOY Japanese Food Street outlet between June 3 and 30 will receive an entry into a lucky draw. Winners will be chosen to attend the exclusive omurice demonstration sessions on July 11 and 12. With only 20 seats per session and demand expected to be high, you’ll want to act fast—Chef Motokichi’s past appearances in cities like Jakarta and Sydney sold out in minutes.
So, if you’ve been craving something warm, comforting, and just a little magical, make a plan for Tsukimi Hamburg this July. Maybe you’re drawn in by the viral fame. Or the playful presentation. Or just the promise of a really good plate of eggs and rice. Either way, this is one food moment worth lining up for. Hungry yet? Same here.
