Various Japanese style rice dishes are available at Japan Rail Cafe too. At Japan Rail Cafe, they use 10-grain rice in their rice bowl. Some worthy selection were Kaisen Avocado Don ($18) and Twin Flavored Crispy Chicken Don ($16). Both with choice of soup, original or dashi and condiments such as mentaiko, seaweed and sesame side by the side. One could have it as Donburi or Ochazuke (add soup). We find that adding the soup into the rice enhances the taste.

I would usually avoid curry rice as it is usually a little too sweet but the WATASHINO Curry Rice ($18) which has a black pepper base and spices is a savoury version. In addition, what I really like about this dish is that minced meat were found in the curry. Those with heavy palate are in love with this dish.
