Oyakodon translates to "family bowl". The bowl, in a sense is called family bowl because it has chicken and the egg (family). It's fitting for the story in a sense that this dish created a new bond with people who are eating it to transpire the new generation.

The title of the video says "how one dish has kept this Japanese Restaurant Around for 250 years" and the video shows this 1 dish is not the only secret, its the people and tradition around the owner of the Tamahide Restaurant and their customer, it's a taste of culture and tradition. And the dish is super simple to cook :) there are so many Oyakodon videos online, but only this one is about its founder and tradition :)

Jeez you guys can't google what dish this is? "Oyako" means "parent and child", and it refers to the chicken and egg. The chicken is simmered in a sweet soy broth (sometimes onion as well) and egg is added slightly after. It's pulled off the heat while the egg is still nice and soft, and laid onto hot white rice. "Don" means bowl, a katsu bowl is "katsudon", yakiniku (Bbq) bowl is "yakinikudon" and so on and so forth.
