Founded in 1970, Hakurakuten Imabari Honten is a Chinese diner celebrated as the birthplace of Imabari's local gourmet dish, Yakibuta Tamago Meshi. The menu includes instructions on how to break the 2 soft fried eggs and mix the runny yolks with pepper-seasoned roast pork and sweet-savory soy sauce, and you can change up the flavor halfway through by adding the spicy sauce or chili oil provided on the table. Adding crispy fried chicken (karaage) or fried gyoza with chewy skins makes the meal even more satisfying, and the generous portion that easily fills you up with a single bowl is a major highlight. While lines sometimes form before opening, turnover is relatively quick as food is served within minutes of being seated. The 76-seat restaurant includes 6 counter seats, tatami seating (zashiki), and private rooms, with non-smoking throughout and parking available, making it convenient for solo travelers and families alike.
