The one who invented domburi is a genius!

I sometimes don't know what to have for lunch when I come out for work everyday.

Sometimes I desperately want to eat rice (refer to the other day) even though I haven't got much time to spare for lunch. At times like that, domburi comes in really really handy.
It's the best choice for lunch... or rather, a must choice!

God, the guy is a genius! Who invented it? He (or she?)'s the Mr.Sandwich of Japan!
What? Dunno what a domburi is?
It's that, that one you put a tempura on top of white rice and pour sauce over it.That's the TENDON.

If you put on sukiyaki (well, don't get into the details), it'll be GYUDON.

If you put on Chinese food with a bit of thick starchy sauce, then it's CHUKADON.

Because of the beef and BSE import issue, we can't enjoy as much GYUDON as we did, or would like to, but Japanese people are surviving it, we have a wide range of DONs in our food culture :-)

Of course, sidedishes and rice are as good when eaten separately,
but just put the sidedish on top of the rice and eat them all together when you don't have enough time to slowly appreciate the food!

And don't forget to say, DOMBURI RULES!! and then you're a real Japan connoisseur ;-)

Oh, try a pizza on top of white rice. That'd be PIZZADON.
