Omuraisu heaven in the heart of Nishishinjuku. Rakeru Nishishinjuku is an omuraisu specialty store offering a truly authentic experience for locals and tourists alike. You enter by heading downstairs into a cozy space with red‑and‑white checkered tablecloths and cushioned chairs. I had the iron‑plate omuraisu with demiglace sauce and a Japanese‑style hamburger. The rice under the omelette had a slight saffron aroma, a nice variation from the usual ketchup rice. We’ve been here before and will definitely return.

We visited RAKERU on our final day in Japan, walking through light rain under a typhoon warning, expecting a simple brunch before heading to the airport. What we got instead was the best meal of our entire Japan trip. Everything was exceptional - the coffee, soup, omurice, buttery buns, French toast, and desserts. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and comforting. The omurice was outstanding, but the real surprise was the Mango White Rare Cheese French Toast, which was one of the most delicious desserts we have ever had. After nearly two weeks of traveling across Tokyo, Kawaguchiko, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, Osaka, Disneyland, and Universal Studios Japan, we had eaten at many highly rated restaurants. Yet RAKERU ended up being the unanimous favorite of our entire group. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and it gave us the perfect ending to an unforgettable Japan trip. Highly recommended. A hidden gem and a must-visit when in Tokyo.

Came to this Rakeru family for their French toast 😗 979 for the French toast with syrup They have alot of others like with ice cream or chocolate Most have option to add whip cream for an extra 400 ish There is a drink set option for 380 You’re given a huge pitcher of water though 2 small baguette French toast with butter and syrup They are tiny for the price The French toast are okay. Reminds me of stuff you’d find at 7/11 Probably a bit better than okay but I can’t get over the fact of this being 1000 for such a TINY amount. That’s the price of a main dish but this clearly isn’t. Some google pics from 5 years ago show much bigger portions. I could understand if this was a add on to another plate but at this price I won’t be back.

The only place we came back to for a second meal. We absolutely adored Omurice, and this was a brilliant place to try it. The signature Rakeru bread is an easy recommendation too. Do yourself a favor and come here for breakfast if you like omelette and fried rice!

This place is so cute, a very retro vibe. We had ordered many dishes and they’re all good. The drinks were very yummy. We came in a little early so we were the only one there. Then more customers started coming in.
