A Colorful Breakfast: Sanshoku Soboro Don
My workday breakfast in Japan: three-color rice bowl with seasoned ground meat, egg, spinach, and edamame, served with Chinese-style soup. I cooked it at home before work.

This morning’s breakfast was sanshoku soboro don—a Japanese rice bowl topped with three colorful ingredients—served with Chinese-style soup.
I spooned freshly cooked rice into a bowl, added some iwanori seaweed, and drizzled a little soy sauce over it. Then I arranged seasoned ground meat, fluffy scrambled eggs, and spinach on top, finishing the bowl with bright green edamame.
The sweet and savory meat and soft eggs paired beautifully with the rich ocean aroma of the seaweed. The warmth of the freshly cooked rice brought out its fragrance even more.
Together with a warm bowl of Chinese-style soup, it made a colorful, comforting, and satisfying breakfast.
