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. 🍳

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?

Ground meat and a soft-boiled egg, now that's perfection. 🥚

I found a salad at the convenience store that's really egg-centric! So happy, and so yummy... 😋

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. 🐓❤️🥚

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.

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. 🥚

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! 🥚
