The Breakfast That Became an Art Form
In Japan, cooking eggs is considered a skill that shows a chef’s precision and patience. Tamago started centuries ago as a simple egg dish in Edo-period street markets. Over time, chefs perfected the technique of seasoning eggs with a touch of sweetness and cooking them very gently. Today, you can find tamago in everything from sushi restaurants to home breakfast tables, always soft, delicate, and carefully prepared.
