A photo of Datemaki, a traditional Japanese rolled omelet, placed on a wooden cutting board. The Datemaki is yellow, fluffy in texture, and evenly sliced. The beautiful rolled layers are visible, symbolizing its significance as a dish often enjoyed during Japanese New Year celebrations.

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! #😋

A bowl of Tenshinhan featuring a fluffy yellow omelet floating in a clear, golden dashi-based broth, garnished with finely chopped green onions. The dish is presented in a patterned bowl on a woven placemat.

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. 🥚 #😋

The dish in the photo is 'Tsukimi Soba,' soba noodles topped with an egg. Traditionally, a raw egg is added to the soup, and the heat slightly cooks the whites. Since I'm not good at this technique, I separately cooked the whites to make them fluffy, like a cloud. 🌕☁️ #😋

A bowl of soba noodles topped with a raw egg yolk and lightly cooked fluffy egg whites, commonly known as 'Tsukimi Soba' in Japan.

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.

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.

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

Thanks! I'll try it😋

That sounds absolutely delicious!! I've never tried Shakshuka before, so I definitely want to give it a try 🤤

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. 🍳

おひさです🥚🐣🐥

Thanks for the warm welcome! I guess it’s time to hatch some new eggs!

すばらしい卵愛ですね🥚

すばらしい夢です！🥚

Steamed white rice Osumashi (Japanese clear soup) Dashimaki Tamago with grated daikon radish

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!

Digging into the flavors of Tenshinhan. 🥚

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. 😋

美しいですね…🥰

Cooking up bacon and a fried egg

Bacon and egg muffin

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

rice, miso soup and dashimaki

dashimaki on rice

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. 🥚

Egg sushi

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!

In the process of making the noodles

Noodles made entirely from eggs

5 seconds before eating the noodles

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!

The naming might vary slightly by shop, but in many cases, it's called 'たまごロール' (tamago roll). Often, it includes ham, and in that case, it's referred to as 'ハムたまごロール' (ham tamago roll). 🥚
