Oomori 大盛り means big size or big serving in Japanese restaurants.
“Oo” 大 means big, and “mori” 盛り means serving, something on the top of a plate for example.
In many restaurants, the waitress might ask you if you want you rice bowl in normal or “Oomori” size.
Usually its for free if it’s just rice, but it might be 100 yen more for the dish itself.
If you want to ask “big size” just ask like :
“Oomori onegaishimasu.”
大盛りお願いします。
Also, if you go in chain restaurants like Matsuya, Yoshinoya, Nakau, CoCo Ichiban Curry, or noodle shops where you order and pay your meal on a ticket vending machine, you can usually find some buttons with the term “Oomori” 大盛り on it or simple the character “big”大.
Memorize it if you’re a big eater !
