Japanese also love having pancakes as a afternoon sweet. Usually not at breakfast.

If you want a confusing meal in the morning, try a traditional Japanese breakfast: grilled fish, rice, miso soup...It’s tasty but doesn’t go with coffee.

I was last in Japan in the early 80s as a youngster (military brat) in the far north. I don't think they were doing omuraisu then. I understand that the "fried rice" that is under the omelet is also usually cooked with ketchup vs soy sauce. I've heard so much about it (I've seen it on a few shows and on the 'Net including "Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories") that I'll have to try it someday even if i have to make it myself.
