Tamago is Japanese for egg. In food it commonly refers to tamagoyaki, a sweet, savory rolled omelet, or tamago nigiri, sushi topped with the omelet.

What is the difference between tamagoyaki and dashimaki tamago?

Tamagoyaki is the general term for Japanese rolled omelet and is often a little sweet. Dashimaki tamago has dashi stock mixed into the eggs, so it is softer, juicier and more savory.

How is tamago served?

It is served sliced as a side dish, in bento, over rice, as sushi, or in egg sandwiches. It is eaten warm or at room temperature.

How do I make tamagoyaki at home?

Beat eggs with dashi, sugar and soy sauce, then cook in thin layers in a rectangular pan, rolling each layer into the last. Kayanoya Dashimaki Tamago Mix is a seasoned shortcut.

Is tamago served hot or cold?

Both. Freshly made tamagoyaki is warm, while the sushi and bento versions are usually served at room temperature or chilled.

Can I eat raw eggs for tamago kake gohan?

Raw egg over rice is eaten in Japan with eggs labeled for raw use, but raw eggs carry a risk of foodborne illness. Follow local food safety guidance.

Forgot to take a photo before I opened the product. I sliced and wrapped up the pieces separately while still frozen before storing it in the freezer. I bought this for the first time on my last order to make spam musubi, and it turned out great. It’s sweet, which balances well with the salty spam. Makes about 8-12 spam musubi depending on how thick you cut it.
