What is a Donburi?

Donburi (ò•, lit. "bowl", less commonly spelled "domburi")

There are diverse Japanese foods and donburi is one of the most common.
The name donburi comes from the bowl which is a little bigger than a rice bowl. When you put dishes on rice in a donburi, they become donburi dishes. There are many kinds of donburi, such as Oyakodon -- rice and chicken topped with boiled eggs. It is called "oyako" because this dish is made of chicken (parent=oya) and eggs (child=ko). Some places use duck instead of chicken. It is said that people stand in line to eat oyakodon at one store in Tokyo from morning 'til night. This is one of the most easily made donburi dishes.
