Happy New Year! Datemaki is a traditional Japanese rolled omelet, sweet and fluffy, often enjoyed during New Year's celebrations as part of Osechi cuisine. Its golden color and delicate texture make it a festive treat! Making Datemaki at home brings so much joy and happiness! #😋

This is Tenshinhan, a Japanese-Chinese dish with a fluffy omelet over rice. Instead of the traditional Chinese-style sauce, I used a light dashi-based broth for the sauce. 🥚 #😋

In Japan, there's a long tradition of appreciating the beauty of the moon. The egg yolk resembles a full moon, and in autumn, dishes with raw or sunny-side-up eggs, like 'Tsukimi' (moon-viewing) dishes, are popular.

Since it's hard to always share uniquely Japanese things, I’ll just relax and start posting the eggs I usually eat. 🍳

Egg paste is spread on toast, with two slices of boiled egg on top. It looks like a face, with the eggs as eyes and dried basil as the mouth.

I’m always eating eggs, but it’s been a while since I last posted. How is everyone doing? Recently, I’ve been into this method of cooking sunny-side-up eggs: quickly frying only the whites at a high temperature, then gently cooking the yolk at a low temperature afterwards. 🍳

There are many egg dishes out there, but all things considered, my favorite might just be Dashimaki, which is a Japanese rolled omelet made with dashi. Having Dashimaki with grated daikon radish for breakfast is truly wonderful!

Tenshinhan is a Japanese-Chinese dish with scrambled eggs, often mixed with shrimp, crab, or mushrooms, on rice. It's topped with a sauce that varies by region: sweet and sour in eastern Japan or broth-based in the west. I'm all about just a hint of green onions and that western Japan broth. 😋

While I was making dashimaki, my wife and kids were whipping up bacon and egg muffins. Mmm, looked tempting! 😋

Professional dashimaki (or tamago-yaki) is top-notch, but there's something great about customizing it to our own taste. Today, I added a hint of sweetness using mirin, a sweet Japanese rice wine for cooking, to my dashi-based mix, a traditional Japanese broth. 🥚

Today, I went to a sushi restaurant and had tamago-yaki and egg sushi. While homemade tamago-yaki is delicious, the freshly made one by a professional chef was indescribably tasty!

When I was young, I always wanted to make and eat a lot of noodles made entirely of eggs, but I somehow forgot about it over time. Recently, I remembered and tried it out. Noodles made of eggs, cucumber, ham, tomato, and a boiled egg in the center. The ultimate combination!

In Japan, you can almost always find this type of egg bread at local bakeries. It's bread filled with mashed egg, and it's almost always tasty. I assumed it'd be sold in other countries too, but my friend in Canada told me they don't have anything like it. 😱

This is "Yamitsuki Dare no Ni-Tamago", a Korean-style soy-marinated egg from a convenience store. It's umami-rich, not too spicy, and perfectly adapted for Japanese tastes. 🥚

The insane heat lately has been messing with my health, but I managed to eat some cold soba. And of course, I added a soft-boiled egg. Eggs are my go-to energy booster. 🥚

I own three types of egg slicers: one for slicing, one for dividing into six, and one simply for halving. Some might think halving is pointless, but I love how easy and clean it cuts. The cross-section looks pretty good, doesn't it?

For those who want to see images of eggs, I recommend searching in Japanese. Especially for terms like "卵", "玉子", "目玉焼き", "親子丼", "天津飯", "ガパオライス", "ビビンバ", you'll find them overflowing with eggs. 🥚

Oyakodon, a traditional Japanese dish, is a beautiful representation of 'parent-child' love. Its name comes from 'oya' (parent) symbolized by chicken and 'ko' (child) represented by the egg, served over rice ('don'). They're simmered with onions in a sweet-savory soy-based broth. 🐓❤️🥚

This might be more of a note for the Japanese. The original context for this comes from a song called "99 Bottles of Beer". これはどちらかというと日本人向けの補足情報かも。元ネタは『99 Bottles of Beer』という英語圏でよく知られている歌で、99からカウントダウンしていく反復歌なのでプログラミングの題材になることもある。🥚🍺🥚🍺🥚 99 Bottles of Beer - Wikipedia

The 'Ajitama,' a flavorful egg marinated in a Japanese-style dashi and soy sauce, is a popular dish. I used a concentrated stock called 'Shirodashi' and a citrusy soy sauce, 'Ponzu'. Its subtle acidity entices the appetite, and you can savor the depth of the egg flavor with a hint of stock.

Japanese ramen is now a globally popular food, with lavish photos flooding social media. Yet, among Japanese home-style ramen, there are many simple and healthy varieties. This post features a ramen topped with an abundance of vegetables and a raw egg, making it one of the healthiest ramen options.

This adorable egg piercer is my favorite. By making a small hole in the egg before boiling, it allows for easy and clean peeling of the shell. 🥚

This is a type of omelette rice where a fluffy, soft omelette is placed on top of the rice and sliced open just before eating. It looks more luxurious than the traditional wrapped type, and the moment the omelette is cut open is quite a spectacle.

This is 'Tamago Kake Gohan' or TKG, a soul food of Japan. Thanks to the hygienic conditions of Japanese eggs, a culture of eating them raw is prevalent. On social media, it's often abbreviated as TKG. You can enjoy TKG with soy sauce, special sauce, or various toppings of your choice. 🥚

Available at Japanese convenience stores, this boiled egg is a testament to Japan's exceptional hygiene standards and culinary skill. The yolk is expertly cooked to the brink of setting, infused subtly with salt during the boiling process in delicately salted water. Just yum, no more! 🥚

This is 'Dashimaki', a fluffier and juicier Japanese egg dish akin to 'Tamagoyaki', enriched with a unique broth. Some love its ends. On rice, it's heaven. 😇 *Note: It's broadly 'Tamagoyaki', with added broth.

The post I shared the other day was a joke, not an actual part of Japanese culture. But personally, I do enjoy the challenge of standing up raw eggs. The basic rule is setting a limit of about 1 minute and if that passes, it's time to give up. 🥚 生卵を立てるのは、個人的には制限時間を1分くらいとして、ちょいちょいやってます🥚
