Tenshin-don / Tenshin-han

天津丼 / 天津飯

"Tenshin donburi" aka "Tenshin-han" is Chinese-style donburi with omelet and a thick sauce. The dish consists of rice covered by an egg omelet made with crab, onions and green peas (kanitama). A thick starchy sauce covers the top. Sometimes also finely-chopped spring onions and shiitake mushrooms are added.

The sauce is different for each individual shop: in the Kanto a sauce based on tomato ketchup with vinegar is popular, while in the Kansai sauces based on soy sauce are common.
