    I spent 7 minutes watching this with a big smile on my face, even though I didn't quite understand what the dish was, but still, it was so lovely and warm, about human ties and tradition. A guy who loves what he does and pays homage to his ancestors through food, and a couple who fell in love waiting for his food and who also revived an old family engagement tradition. Wonderful!

    Oyakodon translates to "family bowl". The bowl, in a sense is called family bowl because it has chicken and the egg (family). It's fitting for the story in a sense that this dish created a new bond with people who are eating it to transpire the new generation.

      It's a type of "donburi" which means it's served on top of rice. In this case, oyakodon is egg, chicken and seasonal vegetables, cooked in a broth and then served on top of rice.

    This is so typical Japanese. It's not really about the Dish, it's about Tamahide Restaurant and people around it.
    The title of the video says "how one dish has kept this Japanese Restaurant Around for 250 years" and the video shows this 1 dish is not the only secret, its the people and tradition around the owner of the Tamahide Restaurant and their customer, it's a taste of culture and tradition.
    And the dish is super simple to cook :)
    there are so many Oyakodon videos online, but only this one is about its founder and tradition :)
