Eggs are very popular in Japan, sure as eggs is eggs! :crazy_face:

Eggs are eaten in so many ways throughout Japan! Here are some of them!

Atsukiri Tamago 厚切り玉子
Scrambled and fried in a square pan with some sweet or savoury stock, then cut into pieces. An amazing snack.

Ajitsuke Tamago 味付け玉子
Typically eaten in a bowl of ramen, this is a boiled egg that has been soaked in a sweet soy sauce, which permeates through and gives the whole egg a unique taste.

Hanjuku Tamago 半熟玉子
A half-boiled egg, which goes great with a donburi (rice bowl).

Onsen Tamago 温泉玉子
An egg boiled in an onsen (hot spring). The minerals give it a distinct taste.

Nama Tamago 生玉子
Plain and simple, probably the easiest Japanese-style breakfast. Just crack a raw egg over your rice.

Tamago Yaki 玉子焼き
A Japanese take on an omlette. You can have it as it is, but it is also popular with things such as cheese and mentaiko.

Medama Yaki 目玉焼き
Fried egg with a Japanese name. Done!

Yude Tamago ゆで玉子
Boiled egg with a Japanese name. Done!

Tsukadama 塚だま
And in one final shameless plug for my regular izakaya 塚田農場つかだのうじょう, this is a premium egg, which has a rich taste and is used in the restaurant’s cooking, from omlettes to puddings. The example below is on the oyako don (chicken and egg rice bowl).

@matt_in_mito The eggs dishes in Japan look like none I’ve ever seen! The Hanjuku Tamago looks really delicious after it melted on the rice!
