Summary
Omurice Jam Jam is an essay cartoon that combines the two most popular topics in the world: family and
food. On the family aspect, the cartoon talks about the author himself as well as his wife, daughter, and
son. Each chapter starts with one specific food then goes into ingredients, historical regions, recipes,
origins, history, science, and common sense information related to the food.
Author Kyungkyu Cho creates interesting cartoons by weaving exciting, untold stories about our favorite
foods from everyday food to international snacks. What is most impressive is the realistic food pictures
that make you crave the dish. Cho’s paintings don't just look appetizing but also capture the beauty of
each food, bringing back emotions and memories of eating them.
Each episode is filled with exciting stories of eating delicious foods, stories of Cho and his wife raising
their kids together, and the family's daily life stories.
